/*
 * Disallow use of an uncommitted pg_enum tuple.
 *
 * We need to make sure that uncommitted enum values don't get into indexes.
 * If they did, and if we then rolled back the pg_enum addition, we'd have
 * broken the index because value comparisons will not work reliably without
 * an underlying pg_enum entry.  (Note that removal of the heap entry
 * containing an enum value is not sufficient to ensure that it doesn't appear
 * in upper levels of indexes.)  To do this we prevent an uncommitted row from
 * being used for any SQL-level purpose.  This is stronger than necessary,
 * since the value might not be getting inserted into a table or there might
 * be no index on its column, but it's easy to enforce centrally.
 *
 * However, it's okay to allow use of uncommitted values belonging to enum
 * types that were themselves created in the same transaction, because then
 * any such index would also be new and would go away altogether on rollback.
 * We don't implement that fully right now, but we do allow free use of enum
 * values created during CREATE TYPE AS ENUM, which are surely of the same
 * lifespan as the enum type.  (This case is required by "pg_restore -1".)
 * Values added by ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE are also allowed if the enum type
 * is known to have been created earlier in the same transaction.  (Note that
 * we have to track that explicitly; comparing tuple xmins is insufficient,
 * because the type tuple might have been updated in the current transaction.
 * Subtransactions also create hazards to be accounted for; currently,
 * pg_enum.c only handles ADD VALUE at the outermost transaction level.)
 *
 * This function needs to be called (directly or indirectly) in any of the
 * functions below that could return an enum value to SQL operations.
