Okay, can you point to that patch? Recently, Robert/Thomas has raised
a comment on undo machinery wherein we are considering to store
FullTransactionId in two-phase file. So, in that connection, we need
to modify this function as well. It is not impossible to test some
unused function (we can try it by superficially calling it at
someplace in code for the purpose of test), but it would have been
better if it is used in someplace.
