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.
