+ * Like SearchSysCache1, but a LOCKTAG_TUPLE heavyweight lock is held in
+ * AccessExclusiveMode on return.
+ *
+ * pg_class and pg_database are subject to both heap_inplace_update() and
+ * regular heap_update().  We must not lose the effects of any inplace update.
+ * That might arise by heap_inplace_update() mutating a tuple, the xmax of
+ * which then commits.  Alternatively, it could arise by heap_inplace_update()
+ * mutating a tuple before an ongoing transaction's heap_update(), after the
+ * ongoing transaction fetches the old tuple to modify.  We prevent both with
+ * locking as follows.  All heap_inplace_update(pg_class) callers acquire two
+ * locks.  First, they acquire LOCKTAG_RELATION in mode ShareLock,
+ * ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, or a mode with strictly more conflicts.  Second,
+ * they acquire LOCKTAG_TUPLE.  heap_update(pg_class) callers can either take
+ * any lock that conflicts with one of those two.  Acquire one's choice of
+ * lock before fetching the tuple to be modified.  FIXME write corresponding
+ * story for pg_database.
+ *
+ * This function bundles the tasks of retrieving a tuple and acquiring the
+ * LOCKTAG_TUPLE.  Since much DDL opts to acquire LOCKTAG_RELATION, the
+ * LOCKTAG_TUPLE doesn't block such updaters of the returned tuple.  Callers
+ * shall reject superseded tuples, such as by checking with
+ * HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate() while holding an exclusive lock on the tuple's
+ * buffer.
+ *
+ * We opt to loop until the search finds the same tuple we've locked.  FIXME
+ * This might not be strictly necessary, but it likely avoids some spurious
+ * errors.  In the happy case, this takes two fetches, one to determine the
+ * tid to lock and another to confirm that the TID remains the latest tuple.
+ *
+ * FIXME consider dropping Relation arg and deducing applicable locktag fields
+ * from cacheId.
+ *
+ * FIXME this may belong in a different file, with available key counts other
+ * than 1, etc.
