Does PostgreSQL support nested transactions as shown below?

Postgresql uses savepoints.
Savepoints do not provide the same functionality as nested or parallel transactions because you cannot commit a savepoint. If I need a second transaction I can always open a second connection so it is easy to get the behavior I need. Thanks.
