This controls the value of the ``retaining`` flag sent to the
``commit()`` and ``rollback()`` methods of the DBAPI connection.
Defaults to False.  Also in 0.8.2, where it defaults to True.
[ticket:2763]

INT64 has been fixed so that LONG is treated as INTEGER,
INT64 treated as BIGINT, unless the type has a "precision"
in which case it's treated as NUMERIC.  Patch courtesy
Russell Stuart.
[ticket:2757]

- restore the rollback cleanup handler, pg8000 is mostly obsolete
as a dialect and the firebird drivers need it

- went through examples/ and cleaned out excess list() calls

- other cleanup
- don't need compat.decimal, that approach never panned out. hopefully
outside libs aren't pulling it in, they shouldn't be

"firebird+fdb" dialect.  [ticket:2622]

whereas the other do_rollback_twophase(), savepoint etc. work with
:class:`.Connection`.  the context on these are different as twophase/savepoint
are available at the :class:`.Connection` level, whereas commit/rollback are needed
at a lower level as well.  Rename the argument to "dbapi_connection" when the conneciton
is in fact the DBAPI interface.
- start thinking about being able to track "autocommit" vs. "commit", but not sure
we have a need for this yet.
- have Pool call out to a Dialect for all rollback/commit/close operations now.  Pool
no longer calls DBAPI methods directly.  May use this for a workaround for [ticket:2611]
- add a new Pool event reset() to allow the pool's reset of the connection to be intercepted.
- remove methods in Informix dialect which appear to be hardcoding some isolation
settings on new Transaction only; the isolation API should be implemented for Informix.
also removed "flag" for transaction commit/rollback being not available; this should
be based on server/DBAPI version and we will need someone with test access in order
to help determine how this should work
