A new API in core is not completely mandatory either. As mentioned
during last week developer meeting to Seki-san, as the list of PGXACT
and PGPROC is in shared memory you could as well develop your own
version. Still there is a limitation with
KnownAssignedXidsGetOldestXmin in recovery, which may be better if
exposed at quick glance but you actually don't care for storage,
right? If the change makes sense, it seems to me that making a routine
more extensible makes the most sense in this case if the API extension
can be used by modules with more goals in mind.
