I would argue that we should only support *one* kind of timeout, either
transaction-level or statement-level, so as to avoid that complexity.
I don't want to see us gilding the lily in the first implementation of
something that IMHO is of dubious usefulness in the first place.
We can think about extending the facility later, when and if it proves
sufficiently useful to justify more complexity.
I don't have a very strong feeling about whether transaction-level or
statement-level is more useful; am willing to do whichever one the
JDBC spec wants.
