You imply that the standard says that COMMIT AND CHAIN should just terminate
the transaction if there are savepoints defined, i.e., should not start new
transaction? Since I can (maybe wrongly) interpret your comment like that,
please let me confirm what the standard says just in case.

I was thinking that COMMIT AND CHAIN should destroy all the savepoints,
terminate the transaction and start new transaction with the same transaction
characteristics immediately.
