Great. From the above description, I imagined that the change involved would be removal of all "update one by one" code paths, and addition of a new line to set one bit in the transaction object that says "this is not the usual all-or-none transaction but is a best-effort batch", but it does not seem to lose as many lines as I hoped ;-)

But still, conceptually this change should simplify the things quite a bit.
