Is there a word we could use to describe what B_BACKEND and B_WAL_SENDER have in common? They are the only backend types that will go through the kind of external connection establishment steps (I think), but I don't know a very accurate way to make that distinction (which is required to come up with a useful macro name). - Melanie
