I have applied part of your patch that documents the txid components in
the datatype section. I didn't apply any of your example usage. I just
added the mention that:

The main use of these functions is to determine which transactions
were committed between two snapshots.

If you want to put those examples on a web site or pgfoundry, we can
link to it from the documentation.

Applied patch attached.
