Interesting. Transactionality is implemented via a regular thread lock, this means in a concurrent Rails app where this library is used in a hot path you might suffer some contention. Best is to use for marshaling data in non-hot paths such as stand alone scripts or app start up. I only say this because it's quite different from expectations around transactions in an SQL sense.
