That would make sense to me. It will also be necessary to formalize what "nonstandard configuration" actually means if we go this way, of course. I believe that this is already true with "dynamic_shared_memory_type == DSM_IMPL_NONE", so that's a second entry for the "nonstandard configuration" list. -- Peter Geoghegan
