Personally, I think the autocommit=False approach is somewhat
safer (more conservative) for the data:
One *always* is inside a transaction, and the default
behaviour is to rollback.
Nothing is by accident automatically committed -- which can
happen with autocommit=True.
I would certainly suggest that a context manager calls
.rollback() during teardown rather than .commit() -- the
context manager cannot know whether actions really are to
be committed, even if technically possible.
