I saw that one; it's just syntactic sugar, just like list_nth_int and
list_nth_oid, except it has only one possible callsite instead of a
dozen like those others. I see no harm in that function, but no
practical advantage to it either. Xid lists are a very fringe feature,
there being exactly one place in the whole server that uses them.
