In general, I don't think we want to increase the number of distinct tags. Which command you finished running and
whetheryou want a rowcount and/or lastoid are orthogonal issues. We already have problems with there being different
commandtagsfor different versions of morally the same commands. Take for example "SELECT FOR KEY SHARE" vs. "SELECT
FORNO KEY UPDATE" vs. "SELECT FOR SHARE" vs. "SELECT FOR UPDATE".
