Thanks. I also think "flags" is better. I will rename it.

But I wonder if I should rename the defined flag names, IGNORE_A_FLAG_XXX and 
IGNORE_FLAGS_XXX because they include "IGNORE" in their name. I'm concerned 
GetOldestXmin users are difficult to know the meaning if they have general 
names, and general names will conflict to other definitions. Would you let me 
know if you have any idea?
