Thanks for working on this.

I believe the part of the 64-bit XIDs patchset that was delivered in
PG17 is worth highlighting in "E.1.3.10. Source Code" section:

4ed8f0913bfd
2cdf131c46e6
5a1dfde8334b
a60b8a58f435

All this can probably be summarized as one bullet "Index SLRUs by
64-bit integers rather than by 32-bit ones" where the authors are:
Maxim Orlov, Aleksander Alekseev, Alexander Korotkov, Teodor Sigaev,
Nikita Glukhov, Pavel Borisov, Yura Sokolov.
