I'm going to set this patch as returned with feedback for now. I'm all
for adding more help to the documentation, but I think in this case it
should be more concrete, in the form of, if you have an incomplete

suspect, if users actually encounter the situation you were referring
to, they are pretty much hosed. Transactions are your friend.)
