I'm starting to study how this feature behaves. At first, when I executed
the following query, the function never returned. ISTM that since
the autovacuum launcher cannot respond to the request of memory
contexts dump, the function keeps waiting infinity. Is this a bug?
Probably we should exclude non-backend proceses from the target
processes to dump? Sorry if this was already discussed.

     SELECT pg_get_backend_memory_contexts(pid) FROM pg_stat_activity;
