Hi,
The patch still applies, tests passed. The code looks nice,
documentation and tests are there.

Although as was discussed before it seems inconsistent without ROLLBACK
support. There was a little discussion about it, but no replies. Maybe
the status of the patch should be changed to 'Waiting on author' until
the end of discussion.
