Anonymous Savepoints == Nested Transactions

This issue is whether we're going to use a PostgreSQL-specific, non-standard,
syntax for NTs, or use a syntax that puts us on the road to implementing
spec-compliant savepoints.

Given that the functionality is exactly the same in either case, I don't see
why you would want to implement syntax which is 100% Postgres-specific.
