Not really.  If the only purpose of the plugin is to verify that we're
not creating regression users whose names don't start with "regress",
it should be good enough to run it for "make check" but not for "make
installcheck".  It's not there to test functionality, just to verify
that we've followed our own rules for regression tests.
