The argument_type is actually an alias for "whatever transaction type 
your transactor uses."  So t is the transaction you're looking for. 
Since you're not overriding the type, you're getting the standard 
transaction type at the standard read-committed isolation level.

(Apart from that, don't fret, looks like you've got things down pretty 
well :-)
