I took a quick look at this and it doesn't seem crazy to me, except
that I think ParallelProcInfo is a bad name for it. It's kind of
generic, because neither "proc" nor "info" means a whole lot. It's
also kind of wrong, because I think "parallel" should be things that
have to do with parallelism, not just things that happen to be
synchronized across processes when parallelism is in use. It doesn't
make sense to me to have something called a ParallelProcInfo that is
used for every single connection in the universe even if parallelism
is completely disabled on the system.

I'm not sure what it SHOULD be called, exactly: that's one of the hard
problems in computer science.[1]
