D'oh!  You're right.  Out it goes.  I wrote tests for it, I'll add  
them to the persistent package.

It runs all the tests, even the doctests, if thats what you mean.  See  
the "additional_tests" hair in the test modules.

Yeah, given that we're name this thing "transaction", it's an actually  
an immediate requirement.  There's only one test that uses anything  
that can't be mocked up in the transaction package (it uses an actual  
MappingStorage and a DB) itself.  It also happens to be the one that  
fails right now; I haven't tried to understand it yet.
