I would be happy if you took over parallel CREATE INDEX completely. It
makes a certain amount of sense, and not just because I am no longer
able to work on it.

You're the one doing things with shared BufFiles that are of
significant complexity. Certainly more complicated than what parallel
CREATE INDEX needs in every way, and necessarily so. I will still have
some more feedback on your shared BufFile design, though, while it's
fresh in my mind.
