* Extension of the {@link org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager}

* callbacks over programmatic <code>getTransaction</code>, <code>commit</code>
* and <code>rollback</code> calls. Calling code may check whether a given
* transaction manager implements this interface to choose to prepare a
* callback instead of explicit transaction demarcation control.
*
* <p>Spring's {@link TransactionTemplate} and
* {@link org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor}
* detect and use this PlatformTransactionManager variant automatically.
