I have considered. It will be beneficial to a small group of users,
including yourself; I predict it will have significant costs
(performance, documentation complexity, etc) for all users. (Of

deal with the docs complexity of issues like the autocommit that Tom
Lane mentioned; it's definitely a cost.)
