Is there a way to force a WAL flush so that async commits (from other 
connections) are flushed, short of actually updating a sacrificial row?

Would be nice to do it without generating anything extra, even if it is 
something that causes IO in the checkpoint.

Am I right to think that an empty transaction won't do it, and nor will 
a transaction that is just a NOTIFY?
