Hm, I'm *VERY* doubtful about doing this via yet another callback. Why
don't we just error out in the prepare write callback?
I don't think it's a good idea to return a non-error state if a command
is interrupted in the middle. We might already have sent a partial
transaction or such. Also compare this to interrupting a query - we
don't just returning rows, we error out.
