So what's a good fix? We can add a new case to the switch. Reporting
the XID is easy since we have a column for that, but what to do about
the uint32 value of the token? We could put it in the virtualxid column
(which is just text), or we could put it in some int32 column and let it
show as negative; or we could add a new column.
Or we could do nothing, since there are no complaints about this
problem.
