Sounds interesting. Some special locking mechanism would be needed to lock
the db when flush the queue, but other than that it sounds nice. I'd also
suggest calling it "enable_queue" or some *other* name that "transactions"
so as to not confuse those who are looking for transactions. (ie newbie
asking "Why can't I see my results before I commit?")
