I sure hope so, but I have no idea how hard that is. I feel the same
about TRUNCATE TABLE now that I recognize the semantic difference
between it and DELETE FROM with no WHERE clause.
For this release, though, I don't think it would be sane to try to
make them comply with transactional semantics. And, as I mentioned,
Serializable Snapshot Isolation can only make serializable that which
is conforming to the semantics of snapshot isolation.
