Just to chime in here as well, but this is pretty much what I was trying to
say in the thread on Twitter (before I realized I was on this list and
should've replied here). I have no problem with the transaction context
manager working like that, but for the "connectoin" one it's very strange
and it's dangerous in that it behaves differently when it's used as a
context manager and when it's not.
