If we do this, could we get rid of the messy autocommit GUC option and
handle autocommit in the client? Before sending a command, the client
could check the transaction status and automatically choose to start a new
transaction. That way we could get rid of the current mess that every
client needs to send a SET autocommit command before it can safely do
anything.
