If people think that showing the pid which created the lock after
the process has terminated is confusing, the reason I would lean
toward not showing it after transaction completion is that we can
check a bit-flag field which is already in front of us rather than
making calls out to other code for each lock, which might get
expensive, and perhaps compromise modularity.
