Only if it could ensured that embedded SAVEPOINTS can be handled
properly...a quick check shows that ON_ERROR_STOP will stop any script even
when the errorneous command is probably rolled back by a subsequent
ROLLBACK TO:
SELECT 1;
SAVEPOINT A;
SELECT et; <-- ON_ERROR_STOP stops here
ROLLBACK TO A;
SELECT 2;
It seems -1 needs some smarter variant of ON_ERROR_STOP.
