At the least, he gets an error page saying that something has vetoed the 
transaction because of some problem. As Steve describes, we need this doom 
feature *because* we cant report the real exception.

Does it make sense to allow doom to provide a nicer error? Perhaps an error 
string (as a parameter to the doom method) that will get included in whatever 
exception gets raised during commit. 

Have I overlooked a discussion of what that exception should be?
