I'm wary of anything that uses sub refs since I had problems with
accidental closures and unexpected return() behavior when using the
Error module.  In my opinion, the simplest thing by far is to simply not
turn on AutoCommit when using a database with transactions.  Then
there's no need to do acrobatics just to turn it off for a section.
