They are settings of transaction_isolation and transaction_read_only
for *next* transactions, no?

Non-default versions are almost read-only variables
because we can set them at the beginning of transactions.

BEGIN;
SET transaction_isolation = 'serializable';
SET default_transaction_isolation = 'read committed';
SHOW transaction_isolation;
=> serializable
SHOW default_transaction_isolation;
=> read committed
COMMIT;
-- next transaction uses default_transaction_isolation
SHOW transaction_isolation;
=> read committed
