I understand that too.
However, I thought SPI_start_transaction was the function equivalent to
BEGIN (or START TRANSACTION).
Therefore, I did not understand why the same option could not be
specified.
I also thought that using SPI_start_transaction would be more readable
than using SPI_commit/SPI_rollback to implicitly start a transaction.
What do you think?
