Thanks.
Please do not use "committs" in commit_ts.c; people didn't like the
abbreviated name without the underscore. But then, why are we
abbreviating here? We could keep it complete and with a space instead
of underscore, so why not use just "commit timestamp", because it's just
a string, right?
In multixact.c, is there a reason to have underscore in the strings? We
could substitute it with a space and it'd look prettier; but really, we
could also keep those names parallel to subdirectory names by using the
already existing string parameter as name here, and not add another one.
I also imagined that the Slru's ControlLock itself would be part of the
tranche, and not just the per-buffer locks. That requires a bit more
churn, but seems reasonable.
Why do we have two per-buffer loops in SimpleLruInit? I mean, why not
add the LWLockInitialize call to the second one?
I'm up to speed on how the LWLockTranche API works -- does assigning to
tranche_name a pstrdup string work okay? Is the pstrdup really
necessary?

What is the "lwlocks[]" comment supposed to mean? I don't think there's
a struct member with that name, is there?
Uhm, actually, why do we keep buffer_locks[] at all? This arrangement
seems pretty odd, where if I understand correctly we have one array
which is the tranche and another array which points to each item in the
tranche ...
