Well, is that description correct? I've used several of these functions,
but I'm not sure I've ever used them for this purpose.
Looking again, pg_get_multixact_members() might need to be added to this
list of exceptions:
However, the functions shown in Table 9.84, except age and mxid_age,
use a 64-bit type xid8 that does not wrap around during the life of an
installation and can be converted to xid by casting if required; see
Section 67.1 for details.
I'm also a little wary of adding a new section on the back-branches because
it will change some section numbers.
