I'm retrofitting some code to use transactions and have run into a snag:
How do you pass a transaction to a table that does not have a class?  Ex:

class Machine(SQLObject):
    _cacheValue = False
    ....
    os = RelatedJoin('OsT', intermediateTable='machine_os_assoc',
                      joinColumn='machine_id', otherColumn='os_id',
                      addRemoveName='Os')

class Os(SQLObject):
    _cacheValue = False
    ....
    machines = RelatedJoin('MachineT',
                           intermediateTable='machine_os_assoc',
                           joinColumn='os_id', otherColumn='machine_id')

When I instantiate Machine, I pass "connection=trans", where "trans" is a
transaction instance.  For Machine, trans.rollback(), trans.commit(), and
trans.begin() all work as expected.  However, if I call the .addOs()
method of my Machine instance, it uses the normal connection, *not* the
transaction.  What is the correct way to make this work?

I can't just change the global __connection__ instance to be a
transaction, as that would break too much existing code...

Thanks!
