Got it. That's fine then, but perhaps the comment on
LWLockRegisterTranche needs to be reconsidered. It's not good enough for
the tranche name to be "backend lifetime", it has to be something valid in
other backends as well. That probably means either (1) compile-time
constant in the core backend (not loadable modules!) or (2) allocated in
the main shared-memory segment.
