I didn't see any explanation of what this would actually be useful for.
I suppose you could skip over some changes you don't want replicated,
but how do you find to what position to skip?

Logical replication has a similar mechanism, using the function
pg_replication_origin_advance().  Any overlap there?  (Maybe the names
could be aligned.)
