Good point, but there's not any real reason to do that --- only
checksum.h should ever be #include'd in more than one file.  Any program
using this stuff is expected to #include checksum_impl.h in exactly one
place.  So maybe it's fine as-is.

Well, that's a different case: there, and also in kwlist.h, there's an
idea that it could actually be useful to #include the file more than
once, redefining the PG_RMGR() macro each time.  There's no such use
case that I can see for checksum_impl.h.
