+-- xid_to_int4 converts a PostgreSQL transaction ID (xid) to a 32-bit integer
+-- which can then be used to efficiently find rows which have changed between
+-- two given transactions. This is currently used by Osmosis to extract a
+-- stream of edits for "diff replication" **HOWEVER** this is a pain point, as
+-- (ab)using the xid in this way is _not_ supported or recommended by Postgres
+-- devs. It is preventing us upgrading to PostgreSQL version 10+, and will
+-- hopefully be replaced Real Soon Now.
