Yep. There's a problem, though, when you bring in subtransactions. The
logic wants to be like this:

with new_transaction(conn) as tran:
    tran.query("blah")
    with tran.subtransaction() as tran:
        tran.query("blah")
        with tran.subtransaction() as tran:
            tran.query("blah")
            # roll this subtransaction back
        tran.query("blah")
        tran.commit()
    tran.query("blah")
    tran.commit()

The 'with' statement doesn't allow this. I would need to use some kind
of magic to rebind the old transaction to the name, or else use a list
that gets magically populated:

with new_transaction(conn) as tran:
    tran[-1].query("blah")
    with subtransaction(tran):
        tran[-1].query("blah")
        with subtransaction(tran):
            tran[-1].query("blah")
            # roll this subtransaction back
        tran[-1].query("blah")
        tran[-1].commit()
    tran[-1].query("blah")
    tran[-1].commit()

I don't like the look of this. It might work, but it's hardly ideal.
This is why I like to be able to nest usages of the same name.
