I wonder whether it'd make sense to recast those examples as increasing
semaphore-related settings, as that's much more likely to be needed these
days. I had to boost the SEMMNI setting on my workstation just last week.
(Admittedly, I had something like a dozen postmasters going, but still,
that was an actual change I had to make.) It'd be particularly valuable
to document this for Linux, with its opaque "kernel.sem" API for the
semaphore limits.
