My tests seem happy, so I will plan on committing these patches tomorrow.
The only difference in v4 is that pg_get_dsm_registry_allocations() will no
longer show partially-initialized entries. I thought that was the best
option in this case because such entries shouldn't have any allocated
memory, and retrying GetNamed*() would set *found to false.
