Actually, to think again, for my application space (web toolkit) it
wouldn't be a problem because my rewrite of AOLserver's postgres
driver tracks transactions (both forms) and could easily issue
"COMMIT/ROLLBACK" in all cases. So I don't care :)

But, as Bruce points out, there's probably a fair amount of legacy
code out there that uses "END/ABORT"...
