Me too.  We used to *have* that kind of code, ie relative pointers into
the shmem segment, and it was a tremendous notational mess and very
bug-prone.  I do not wish to go back.

(We have accepted that kind of overhead for DSM segments, but the
intention I think is to allow only very trivial data structures in
the DSM segments.  Losing compiler pointer type checking for data
structures like the lock or PGPROC tables would be horrid.)
