Seems it should be allowed so that BEGIN and START TRANSACTION behave
the same.
In fact, the BEGIN manual page says:
<xref linkend="sql-start-transaction"
endterm="sql-start-transaction-title"> has the same functionality
as <command>BEGIN</>.
which is currently not true because START TRANSACTION has additional
options. The following patch fixes it. I will put it into 7.5 after an
appropriate delay.
