Great - I assume end transaction is going to do a commit. If you don't
do an end transaction and you don't issue a rollback... I assume it
rolls back?

This is pretty slick - over the last month or so I've come up with about
8 different places where I really wish I had transactions/rollbacks on
SourceForge. Also running into lots of places where I really, really
wish I had fscking subselects...
