- * Acts as a useful reference point for maintenance tasks.
+ * Get the transaction's XID if it has one, else read the next-to-be-assigned
+ * XID. Once we have a value, return that same value for the remainder of the
+ * current transaction. This is meant to provide the reference point for the
+ * age(xid) function, but might be useful for other maintenance tasks as well.
