Yes, and IMHO it's just some housekeeping stuff, informing the backend
that you'll never want to rollback to that savepoint any more. If there
are no resources to release internally, a noop.

The levels are created implicitely, because a rollback to savepoint1
will rollback *all* work done since then. This effectively makes all
subsequent savepoints children of the first. The effect of RELEASE
SAVEPOINT would be to restrict the tree depth, by concentrating all
released savepoints into their parents.
