Anyways, I'll try to get at what motivated this whole discussion: would there be
community opposition to adding a CLI flag that'd exit/shutdown all Postgres
processes once all pending connections close? E.g., something similar to SQL
Server's `auto_close` in the vein of `postgres
-c "auto_close_after=100"` or `pg-ctl start --exit-mode=smart`?

If testing is all scripted, then why not put "pg_ctl stop" at the end of the script?
