The problem is really that we've done only cursory documentation
additions for the features added in 8.0.  For instance, there are
reference pages for SAVEPOINT/ROLLBACK TO/RELEASE but there are still
many places that incorrectly say that we don't have nested transactions;
much less places that give examples involving using nested transactions
to solve real problems.  What I was thinking of doing was just trying to
read large sections of the docs and annotate places that are out of date
and need work.  If there are any particular areas you are familiar with,
you might want to claim responsibility for those.
