Should be OK either way as long as bad configuration gives a useful
error message.  I do feel it fit better to specify the gluing in the
subordinate database than in the root database, but that's just my
personal preference.

(If "subordinate" is added back, I presume it would need the
async and advertise optional parameters that "glue-sub" accepts.)
