Ah, I see: txid_current() never reports a subxact ID so there's no need to
consider them elsewhere in txids either. OK, but this desperately needs
to be documented.
BTW, I notice that use of txid_current will force assignment of an XID
in a transaction that might not otherwise have one. Does this matter,
or is the expectation that it's only going to be used in transactions
that are making DB modifications anyway?
