IMO that would be useful - we now have a couple of these checks for
different data types (line, unknown, sql_identifier), with a couple of
combinations each. And I've been looking if we do similar pg_upgrade
tests, but I haven't found anything. I mean, we do pg_upgrade the
cluster used for regression tests, but here we need to test a number of
cases that are meant to abort the pg_upgrade. So we'd need a number of
pg_upgrade runs, to test that.
