 * the failure-to-start case, lest it wait forever.  On the other hand, a

 * Look up (and possibly load) a parallel worker entry point function.
 *
 * For functions contained in the core code, we use library name "postgres"
 * and consult the InternalParallelWorkers array.  External functions are
 * looked up, and loaded if necessary, using load_external_function().
 *
 * The point of this is to pass function names as strings across process
 * boundaries.  We can't pass actual function addresses because of the
 * possibility that the function has been loaded at a different address
 * in a different process.  This is obviously a hazard for functions in
 * loadable libraries, but it can happen even for functions in the core code
 * on platforms using EXEC_BACKEND (e.g., Windows).
 *
 * At some point it might be worthwhile to get rid of InternalParallelWorkers[]
 * in favor of applying load_external_function() for core functions too;
 * but that raises portability issues that are not worth addressing now.
