That seems like a good idea. Although, it would be good to know that
it didn't add too much overhead dropping and recreating the table when
every transaction happened to obtain more locks than $some-value. If
it did, then maybe we could track the average locks per of recent
transactions and just ditch the table after the locks are released if
the locks held by the last transaction exceeded the average *
1.something. No need to go near shared memory to do that.
