Didn't read the commit see that now.

Can you make this a new define then? I had to check the values of
GUC_HXG_TYPE_RESPONSE_SUCCESS & GUC_HXG_TYPE_RESPONSE_FAILURE to
understand why this works. Or at minimum add a comment as just looking
at code it doesn't appear to work when indeed it does.

Ah, yes. See that now.

Yea ok, makes a bit more sense now.
