I guess that you were patching worker_spi to register dynamically a
wait event and embed that in a TAP test or similar without loading it
in shared_preload_libraries?  FWIW, you could use a trick like what I
am attaching here to load a wait event dynamically with the custom
wait event API.  You would need to make worker_spi_init_shmem() a bit
more aggressive with an extra hook to reserve a shmem area size, but
that's enough to show the custom wait event in the same backend as the
one that launches a worker_spi dynamically, while demonstrating how
the API can be used in this case.

+1.  I'm OK to lift this restriction with a SIGHUP GUC for the
database name and that's not a pattern to encourage in a template
module.  Will do so, if there are no objections.
