I don't know the best way to do this (or how many people agree we
should), but I found that running the standard `make installcheck`
against a database where the postgresql.conf file set
default_transaction_isolation = serializable helped provide some
baseline testing of SSI. None of the results change, but it helps
protect against certain classes of dumb error. (I know this from
personal experience.) I know *I'd* feel better if at least a few
buildfarm animals were set up to do this.
