I think I've cleared out most of the small stuff. The two SSI related
issues still on the open items list are:

* SSI: failure to clean up some SLRU-summarized locks
* SSI: three different HTABs contend for shared memory in a free-for-all

If you can pick those two up, that would be very helpful; I suspect
you can work your way through them faster and with fewer mistakes than
I would be able to manage.

The other two items are:

* Typed-tables patch broke pg_upgrade
* assorted collation issues

Tom said he'd take care of the collation issues. Peter Eisentraut,
Noah Misch, and I have been exchanging emails on the typed tables
problems, of which there appear to be several, but it's not real clear
to me that we're converging on a comprehensive solution.
