Wouldn't you want to use SET TRANSACTION for this?
Or a suffix on BEGIN, like BEGIN AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION ?
What's the logic behind introducing "PRAGMA" ?
If you wanted to use that syntax for Oracle compatibility you'd need to use:
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
(note underscore). But really, this would no be a pragma at all,
PostgreSQL doesn't really have the concept. Calling it that would just
be misleading.

If you don't want it to dirty read data from the parent tx, or inherit
parent locks, then it cannot be the same at all.

I'm not sure what you mean here.
Overall, this looks like a HUGE job to make work well. I know some
others have been doing work along the same lines, so hopefully you'll be
able to collaborate and share ideas.
