Thanks for adding useful feature!

+ {"shared_memory_size", PGC_INTERNAL, RESOURCES_MEM,

When reading the applied code, I found the category of shared_memory_size
is RESOURCES_MEM. Why? This seems right because the parameter is related
to memory resource. But since its context is PGC_INTERNAL, PRESET_OPTIONS
is more proper as the category? BTW, the category of any other
PGC_INTERNAL parameters seems to be PRESET_OPTIONS.
