Ah. Whoops. I meant to write '=' in the first, to reflect what the code
does.

You're quite right that casting to pg_lsn has the same effect and looks
cleaner.

I think this looks good as of the last version. I'm not keen on disabling
autovacuum but that can be addressed in a followup that makes it easier to
configure params, as discussed. I definitely don't want to complicate this
patch with it.

Should be committed ASAP IMO.
