No problem executing a SET inside its own transaction.  The rollback
happens only if the SET fails, which for a single SEt command, should be
fine.

Seems kind of strange.  If anything, I can imagine a NO ROLLBACK
capability.  However, because this can be easily done by executing the
SET in its own transaction, it seems like overengineering.
