Cool.

I guess was thinking more about BumpIsEmpty() and BumpStats() then the "bogus"
cases. But BumpIsEmpty() likely is unreachable as well. BumpStats() is
reachable, but perhaps it's not worth it?

BEGIN;
DECLARE foo CURSOR FOR SELECT LEFT(a,10),b FROM (VALUES(REPEAT('a', 512 * 1024),1),(REPEAT('b', 512 * 1024),2)) v(a,b) ORDER BY v.a DESC;
FETCH 1 FROM foo;
SELECT * FROM pg_backend_memory_contexts WHERE name = 'Caller tuples';


Hm, independent of this, seems a bit odd that we don't include the memory
context type in pg_backend_memory_contexts?
