Thanks for looking at it!

Not sure, I think it's the counter part of PgStat_TableCounts for example.

It copies the pending data to not increment it's counters while doing the summarization.
The summarization was done here to avoid the pg_stat_get_xact*() functions to do the computation so that all
the pg_stat_get_xact*() functions look the same but....

I agree that's not the best approach.....
Let me come back with another proposal (thinking to increment reconciled
counters in pgstat_count_heap_insert(), pgstat_count_heap_delete() and
pgstat_count_heap_update()).
