Hello.

I don't find any description in the documentation about the
guaranteed lifetime of commit timestamps. I think they are
preserved until corresponding xid goes beyond the freeze horizen,
even though they are actually preserved longer for several
reasons.

If it is not, I think such description is required in
pg_xact_commit_timestamp().

regards.
