As a data point, this "experimental" support in my experience works
*really* well, and we've got tens of people hammering all day creating
and changing objects (the largest BTree has just gone over 100,000 items
and growing 1000 objects/week).

Because I use them via IndexedCatalog's Shelf, it appears to us as if
the setting is bound to the database itself, but you're right; mixing
local transactions with non-local ones may be a problem I hadn't
considered yet.
