Hi hackers!

Nice patch, seems it may be useful in cases like alerting that subxid
overflow happened is database or whatever.
But I'm curious, what is the following work on this? I think it may be
way more helpful to, for example, log queries, causing sub-tx
overflow,
or even kill the backend, causing sub-tx overflow with GUC variables,
setting server behaviour.
For example, in Greenplum there is gp_subtransaction_overflow
extension and GUC for simply logging problematic queries[1]. Can we
have something
similar in PostgreSQL on the server-side?
