One more thing: based on what I saw in working with my pending guc.c
changes, the assertions in GetMemoryChunkMethodID are largely useless
for detecting bogus pointers. I think we should do something more
like the attached, which will result in a clean failure if the method
ID bits are invalid.
I'm a little tempted also to rearrange the MemoryContextMethodID enum
so that likely bit patterns like 000 are not valid IDs.
While I didn't change it here, I wonder why GetMemoryChunkMethodID is
publicly exposed at all. AFAICS it could be static inside mcxt.c.
