Another question which I thought of is what we should do with functions
like pg_file_write() in adminpack.

While it is perfectly fine to modify files from the parallel workers, a
user could get race conditions if he tries to modify the same file
multiple times. Is this a kind of problem the PARALLEL tagging should
try to prevent, or is that something we should leave to the user?
