Well, order of delivery depends on commit order, so there's only a
pretty weak guarantee there, although I guess it is stronger than
before. As for the other thing, listeners are *not* guaranteed to
get any notices that were committed before they commit their LISTEN.
They are guaranteed to get ones that were committed afterwards, but
that's the same as before.
