This seems useful, since the xact lock would be automatically released

I think the POLA dictates that the behavior of that should be that you
now have both a transactional and a nontransactional hold on the lock;
and only the transactional hold goes away at commit.
Yes, I believe that's what happens now. But I guess you answered my
question too by not pointing out a huge flaw in that thinking.
