Isn't this numerical value already exposed in the error message (X = 88)?
In this example, it is:

ERROR:  invalid logical replication message type "X"
CONTEXT:  processing remote data for replication origin "pg_16638" during message type "??? (88)" in transaction 796, finished at 0/1626698

IMO it could be confusing if we provide two representations of the same data (X
and 88). Since we already provide "X" I don't think we need "88". Another
option, is to remove "X" from apply_dispatch() and add "??? (88)" to 
logicalrep_message_type().

Opinions?
