I'm not necessarily opposed to commandeering the name "smart" for the
new behavior, so that what we have to find a name for is the old "smart"
behavior.  How about

    slow    - allow existing sessions to finish (old "smart")
    smart    - allow existing transactions to finish (new)
    fast    - kill active queries
    immediate - unclean shutdown
