So what's wrong with "reserving" the space using the WAL, then everyone 
else will know. After all, when you write the data to the WAL, you must 
have an idea of where it is meant to end up. My suggestion is that you go 
through all the motions of writing the data to the WAL, just without the 
data bit.
