class Atomic(ContextDecorator)

An instance can be used either as a decorator or as a context manager.
When it's used as a decorator, __call__ wraps the execution of the
decorated function in the instance itself, used as a context manager.
When it's used as a context manager, __enter__ creates a transaction or a
savepoint, depending on whether a transaction is already in progress, and
__exit__ commits the transaction or releases the savepoint on normal exit,
and rolls back the transaction or to the savepoint on exceptions.
It's possible to disable the creation of savepoints if the goal is to
ensure that some code runs within a transaction without creating overhead.
A stack of savepoints identifiers is maintained as an attribute of the
connection. None denotes the absence of a savepoint.
This allows reentrancy even if the same AtomicWrapper is reused. For
example, it's possible to define `oa = atomic('other')` and use `@oa` or
`with oa:` multiple times.
Since database connections are thread-local, this is thread-safe.
