SInce the whole concept has been designed to hide certain errors from me, I'd think that I'll have to re-throw at least some exceptions? A properly (overly) documented transactor example would be so useful. I've been browsing the tests, reading the code. Hasn't clarified anything to me. The reference manual isn't very enlightening either, unfortunately.

I'm hoping to get more tutorial-type information into the reference 
documentation, with examples.  The big problem for me is time!

You've figured it out and still have a fresh picture of what the 
problems where; maybe that makes you the ideal person to add to the 
text.  Even a little bit here and there may help the next person who has 
the same questions.
