    5 For backwards compatibility, the current transaction handling methods will probably have to stay, as they provide a 'broken', yet consistent way of handling transactions between backends. There are workarounds for core framework features, such as #15694. However, a new set of decorators with a slightly different API could be provided in parallel, with a signature something like this:
