So far, yes.

There is a tiny chance that someone, some day, might add a new xidtype
that collides with an existing historical enum. However, (1) that
doesn't seem especially likely, and (2) even if it does happen, the new
uint32_t based type should be type-compatible with the old enum based
typedef for most purposes, so even if it does happen most users would
never notice. I hope.

I'll attempt to work up a patch later today, so we have something more
concrete to ponder.
