---------------------------------------

Hi I just want to point out a scenario where having an Autoclosable transaction 
is useful although I appreciate the current semantics of the method within TP 
may not support this:


Ideally I want to be able to do this:
{code:xml}
try (Transaction tx = graph.tx()) {
     //Do stuff
     tx.commit();
}
{code}
        
Where 'close' on the transaction is equivalent to calling 'rollback'.
This ensures that I never accidentally leave a transaction open.
In the case that an exception is thrown in my code I don't have to worry as the 
transaction is automatically rolled back.

If we have to use this:
{code:java}
try {
     //Do stuff
  graph.tx().commit()
} finally {
  graph.tx().rollback()
}
{code}
then I always have to remember put a rollback statement in a finally block.
In the end it doesn't save many characters, but I do remember that there were 
various issues on the gremlin user groups where folks had forgotten to put a 
rollback in a finally block and had inadvertently left a transaction open 
resulting in weird behaviour.
