Hmm. "fast or spread" seems reasonable to me. And I want to use "fast"
for the fast version, because that's what we call it when you use
pg_start_backup(). I'll go change it to spread for now - it's the one
I can find used in the docs.

Nah, we'll just disconnect and it'll deal with things that way. Just
like we do with e.g. pg_dump. I don't see the need to complicate it
with that.
