So do I.
And I also think that this will solve the original issue, which iirc was
rolling back SET TIMEOUT at ABORT.
If we have LOCAL SET, there is no need to have any other mechanism for
ROLLING BACK/COMMITing SET's - SET and DML can be kept totally separate,
as they should be based on fact that SET does not directly affect data.
