Yes. That is the case with the existing implementation as well, no?
We don't consider sending notifies until transaction end, so anything
that commits during the xact in which you UNLISTEN will get dropped.
Again, a little bit of sloppiness here doesn't seem important. Issuing
UNLISTEN implies the client is not interested anymore.
