No it doesn't.

The things you can do once a rollback has been initiated are extremely 
limited, so I'm not sure value there would be in such a thing.

The requirements I was given specifically excluded this, so I haven't 
looked at it, but I suspect the answer to your second question is "quite 
hard". But feel free to prove me wrong :-)
