If we're going to look at doing that I think it would also be good to
consider including xmin and xmax as well. This might require persisting
to disk, but for transactions that touch a number of tuples it could
potentially be a big win (imagine being able to shrink all 4 fields down
to a single int; a 45% space reduction).
