Fair point.  When added, the code pertaining to fork-emulation was
well-isolated, and that remained the case as recently as 9.3.  Your recent

PostgreSQL code uses that notation regularly.  When I add it, I typically have
in mind "the following is not fully satisfying, but it's not bad enough to
make a point of improving".

I've committed the comment patch.
