While you're touching these functions, maybe it would be a good time to
rename them as well?  The 'check' in their names can mislead people into
thinking that they're somehow related to the atomic 'check' phase, even
though they're actually something we do after the commit is complete.

Renaming these with  s/check/confirm/ or s/check/verify/ might make it a
little bit easier to understand what their purpose is and avoid
confusion.
