Isn't this just another name for a subtransaction or inner transaction
that can be separately committed?
begin transaction bar;
...
begin transaction foo;

commit foo;
...
rollback bar;
foo's work is still committed.
People have been hacking this up using dblink calls, I believe, but
that's a horrid kludge.
