Right, that's one reason why I don't see a particular use case there.

But CHECKPOINT right now has an explicit superuser check, and it would
be nice to be able to avoid that.

It's pretty normal to issue a CHECKPOINT right after a data load and
before running a performance test, right? Shouldn't there be some way
to do that without superuser?
