Aren't there some caveats to this related to transactions? I've been
working under the strong (I think I read.. heh) impression that
transactions cannot be nested, in 7.3 at least..
This would lead me to believe if the 'main' function called another that
failed and thus issued a rollback, would that not rollback the entire
meta-transaction, for lack of a better word?
