What is it that you think of as being potentially "better" about some
would-be-alternative "transaction locking" scheme?

PostgreSQL already supports MVCC, which is commonly considered to be the
"better" scheme that eliminates a lot of need to lock data.

Furthermore, the phrase "transaction locking" doesn't seem to describe
what one would want to lock.  I wouldn't want to lock a "transaction;"
I'd want to lock DATA.
