Several things. I think I wrote them along with my previous patch. The
visibility rules and the pg_clog protocol are what comes to mind
immediately. This is the difficult part.

Some of those things are already in place. For example cursors are
closed/dropped, file deletions (DROP TABLE) no longer take place, file
creation is reverted, and the server is in a known state. Some things
are missing: how to deal with deferred triggers, prepared statements,
locks, on-commit actions.
