This is a first pass on a simple shared memory variable system for PostgreSQL. I would appriciate anyone interested in this functionality to rip it apart.
It basically adds this functionality:
SetShared('name', value);
GetSharedInt('name');
SetSharedText('name);
RemovedShared('name');
I also added two extra functions that are sort of a kludge, but could be
very helpful.
AddSharedInt('name', value);
SubSharedInt('name', value);
These add or subtect the 'value' from the variable and return the result.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
