Just means you have to do some address arithmetic instead of being able
to reference the additional data as a struct member.  Tedious but hardly
difficult.  See for instance the handling of "move" data in
XLOG_HEAP_MOVE records, or "unused" data in XLOG_HEAP_CLEAN.

I'd not recommend emitting additional xlog records unless there's a
genuine log-semantics-related reason for doing so.  (Thinks about it...)
It seems like you'd want to emit a subtrans abort record to carry
information about file deletions, but there's no real need to emit
subtrans commit records, is there?
