Heh, there ain't much to debug: it's pretty straight forward.  I ran
all the use cases/syntaxes I could think of and they worked as
expected.  It's a pretty chump little ditty that I originally wrote

in my tree...  though I like the name "jail_read_only_transactions"
more...  patch updated for new name.
