My idea is only an analogy of PostgreSQL's simple recovery
mechanism of tuples.
And my main point is
"delete fails after commit" doesn't harm the database
except that not deleted files consume disk space.
Of cource,it's preferable to delete relation files immediately
after(or just when) commit.
Useless files are visible though useless tuples are invisible.
