 * MaxAllocSize, MaxAllocHugeSize
 *		Quasi-arbitrary limits on size of allocations.
 *
 * Note:
 *		There is no guarantee that smaller allocations will succeed, but
 *		larger requests will be summarily denied.
 *
 * palloc() enforces MaxAllocSize, chosen to correspond to the limiting size
 * of varlena objects under TOAST.  See VARSIZE_4B() and related macros in
 * postgres.h.  Many datatypes assume that any allocatable size can be
 * represented in a varlena header.  This limit also permits a caller to use
 * an "int" variable for an index into or length of an allocation.  Callers
 * careful to avoid these hazards can access the higher limit with
 * MemoryContextAllocHuge().  Both limits permit code to assume that it may
 * compute twice an allocation's size without overflow.
