I'm not focusing on performance here --- I'm focusing on whether I trust
the patch at all. I dislike blowing a hole that size in the sanity
checks in TransactionIdSetStatus. I note that the hole still isn't
big enough, since presumably you'd have to allow ABORTED=>SUB_COMMITTED
too. That means that out of the four state transitions that are
disallowed by the original coding of that Assert, you are now having to
consider two as legal. I don't like that, and I like even less that
it's not even trying to determine whether this is a replay-driven
change.
