This is a reasonable (albeit architecturally unsound) request. If the 
'unsafe' handling is requested everything not happening in a transaction 
should indeed not result in exceptions.

In order to go forward with this I will need a modest set of lives_ok 
checks for various operations. The actual implementation will be more 
involved and will likely be carried out by me or another core contrib. 
For a concise test example, take a look at

Let me know if you have any further questions

Cheers!
