Here's a patch. I took the approach of adding a separate bool out
parameter instead. I am also attaching an update of the
check-visibility patch which responds to assorted review comments and
adjusting it for the problems found on Friday which could otherwise
lead to false positives. I'm still getting occasional TIDs from the
pg_check_visible() function during pgbench runs, though, so evidently
not all is well with the world.
(Official status update: I'm hoping that senior hackers will carefully
review these patches for defects. If they do not, I plan to commit
the patches anyway neither less than 48 nor more than 60 hours from
now after re-reviewing them myself.)
