Really?

create table @NAMESPACE(at)(dot)sl_log_1 (
	log_origin			int4,
	log_xid				@NAMESPACE(at)(dot)xxid,
	log_tableid			int4,
	log_actionseq		int8,
	log_cmdtype			char,
	log_cmddata			text
);
create index sl_log_1_idx1 on @NAMESPACE(at)(dot)sl_log_1
	(log_origin, log_xid @NAMESPACE(at)(dot)xxid_ops, log_actionseq);

create index sl_log_1_idx2 on @NAMESPACE(at)(dot)sl_log_1
	(log_xid @NAMESPACE(at)(dot)xxid_ops);

sl_log_1_idx2 doesn't seem to have any such protection.  When I was
poking at Marc's example, though, it seemed that the numbers going
into the table were all *locally generated* XIDs, in fact the same
as the XID doing the insertions.  If this is only true on the master,
and slaves can be inserting XIDs coming from different masters,
then I think it will break.
