And this one seems entirely a theoretical possibility.  I spent a
little time looking it over, and I don't see how it could be made to
work from hot standbys without an unbounded flow of predicate lock
information from all standbys to the master *plus* blocking commits
on the master for the duration of the longest round trip latency to
any standby.  I think we can call this one dead on arrival.
