This proposal looks sane. It is indeed helpful to keep an eye out for
multixact usage in systems that are heavily loaded.

> By exposing ReadMultiXactCounts() for external use, we can provide PostgreSQL users with an efficient way to monitor MultiXact member usage. This could be particularly useful for integrating with tools like Amazon RDS Performance Insights and Amazon CloudWatch to provide enhanced database insights and proactive managed monitoring for users.

Let's give it a try!
