I need to know at some point *before* I actually start scanning.  The ParallelContext pointer is only available in EstimateDSMForeignScan(), InitializeDSMForeignScan(), and ReInitializeDSMForeignScan().  

If there is some other way to discover the actual worker count, I’m open to that.  The three functions above are not particularly helpful to me so I’m happy to look somewhere else.
