Previously, it would not have worked for a caller to pass a slab context, since it would have been used for other things which likely had incompatible size. In an attempt to be helpful and avoid possible space wastage due to aset's power-of-two rounding, RT_CREATE would create an additional slab context if the value type was fixed-length and larger than pointer size. The problem was, we have since added the bump context type, and the generation context was a possibility as well, so silently overriding the caller's choice may actually be worse. Commit e8a6f1f908d arranged so that the caller-provided context is used only for leaves, so it's safe for the caller to use slab here if they wish. As demonstration, use slab in one of the radix tree regression tests. Reviewed by Masahiko Sawada Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CANWCAZZDCo4k5oURg_pPxM6+WZ1oiG=sqgjmQiELuyP0Vtrwig@mail.gmail.com
