Well, right now, BEGIN inside a transaction just issues a warning:

test=> BEGIN;
BEGIN
test=> BEGIN;
WARNING: there is already a transaction in progress
BEGIN
test=> SELECT 1;
?column?
----------
1
(1 row)

test=> COMMIT;
COMMIT

I think you can make the case that this should be an error, or at least
that's how it got on the TODO list. I can always remove it if people
don't want the item completed.
