Mmm, not sure whether having CreateCommandTag know about replication
commands is a good thing or not. We certainly could do it like that,
since there's only one namespace of NodeTag values, but conceptually
it feels a bit weird to me. There's a lot of other infrastructure
for SQL command nodes that we're surely never going to build out for
replication commands, so should we do it in CreateCommandTag?
Anybody else have an opinion about it?
(I don't quite follow your comment about repslot drop, btw.)
