This will need to be rebased over d10c626de, which made a few of the
same/similar changes but did not try to hit stuff that wasn't adjacent
to what it was changing anyway. I'm +1 for the idea though. I think
we should also try to standardize on the terminology "WAL location"
for LSNs, not variants such as "WAL position" or "log position".
