So you define the smalles unit being one single statement as issued by
the client application and receiving one single returncode over the
frontend/backend protocol.
That's almost what people think of as subtransactions. I think if we
ever implement them, we will have some session setting that lets the
backend behave like that and your needs will be satisfied.
