Superusers are assumed to be careful enough not to shoot themselves in
the foot like that. I suggest not experimenting with things like
"delete from pg_proc;" either ;-)

Shut down the postmaster, start a standalone backend, create a superuser
using CREATE USER, restart the postmaster. You're always super inside
a standalone backend.
