Same reason why you allow an addition with 0. One can say that it's
not really an operation either.
One can have many different semantics, here are 3 versions:
1) You release savepoints in any order2) You release savepoints in reverse order3) You release any savepoints and later
onesthen the one you released are automatically released.
I don't see any of these as absurd. The ansi spec uses number 3.
It might seem absurd to you, given the implementation you have made.
