Heh, there ain't much to debug: it's pretty straight forward. I ran
all the use cases/syntaxes I could think of and they worked as
expected. It's a pretty chump little ditty that I originally wrote
for the sake of the 7.4 PR, but it's proving to be quite useful here
in my tree... though I like the name "jail_read_only_transactions"
more... patch updated for new name.
