Let me get this straight.  reorderbuffer.c exports a function that needs
to be used by tqual.c.  The obvious method to do this is to declare the
function in reorderbuffer.h and have tqual.c #include that.  Apparently
you think it's better to have tqual.h declare the function.  How is that
not 100% backwards?  Even worse that it requires more header-inclusion
bloat for some functionality entirely unrelated to snapshots?

That sounds borderline insane from here.  You need a whole lot more
justification than "I'm against it".
        regards, tom lane
