But can anything ever see more than one version of what's in the table?
Even if you rollback you should still be able to just update a row
counter because nothing else would be able to see what was rolled back.

Speaking of which, if a temp table is defined as ON COMMIT DROP or
DELETE ROWS, there shouldn't be any need to store xmin/xmax, only
cmin/cmax, correct?
