My only objection is that people have different expectations about whether the session will remain in a transaction block when they encounter an error. So, it's hard to make this work without surprising about half the users. And there are some fairly significant consequences to users who guess that they will remain in a transaction block in case of an error; or who are just careless and don't consider that an error may occur. > If we did add another toplevel command, what would we call it? "SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT" perhaps?
