pg_subtrans is trivial to index --- it's a linear array subscripted by
TransactionId.  I'm not sure what we'd do to handle row locks, which
would need a key like (DBoid, RELoid, BlockNum, LineNum) and would be
extremely non-dense in that space.

'Tis something to think about though...

I've been thinking about it and I am wondering what the reason is that we need to record every transaction that has a row share lock?


ie. why can't we just record the number of locks each backend has, sort of, and use a reference counting sort of method. Per-backend in case the backend dies and we need to discount those locks..?
