OK, so I committed that. Per Andres's gripe about lack of overall
design documentation, I added several large comment blocks to
shm-mq-v1.patch; the updated version is here attached as
shm-mq-v2.patch. test-shm-mq-v1.patch no longer compiles due to the
naming changes in that patch, so here's test-shm-mq-v2.patch with a
one-line change to compensate. These are intended to apply on top of
shm-toc-v1.patch, which I am not reposting here since it's unchanged,
and I'm unaware of any fixes that are needed there except possibly for
some further elaboration of the comments.

It sounds like most people who have looked at this stuff are broadly
happy with it, so I'd like to push on toward commit soon, but it'd be
helpful, Andres, if you could review the comment additions to
shm-mq-v2.patch and see whether those address your concerns. If so,
I'll see about improving the overall comments for shm-toc-v1.patch as
well to clarify the points that seem to have caused a bit of
confusion; specific thoughts on what ought to be covered there, or any
other review, is most welcome.

Thanks,
