We are rapidly running out of time to get this fixed before RC1.
In the interests of getting across the finish line, I took a look
around, and found that indeed there does not seem to be any exported
way to detect whether we're inside a procedure or not. Which seems
pretty darn dumb from here.
The best way to determine that seems to be to check that that the SPI
stack is (a) nonempty and (b) has a "nonatomic" topmost entry.
Barring objections, I'm going to make a quick hack that adds a SPI
entry point along the lines of "bool SPI_inside_nonatomic_context(void)"
to do that test, adapt the xact.c code as I said upthread, and commit
with Peter's regression test case.
