    This adds documentatuon on transactions and threading concerns.
    
    There are some topics, like application design and conflict resolution
    that might want a deeper treatment, but would probably be better
    handled through articles or dedicated topics. (I want to avoid
    individual topics being too long or weedy to read, where practical.)
    
    Writing this, I stumbled a bit over thread-local transaction managers.
    For most applications, they don't add anything over accessing
    transaction managers on connections and actually provide an
    opportunity to fail. I'm convinced that it should be possible to do
    most transaction management through connections and that the API
    provided by transaction managers and the transaction package should be
    reserved for distributed transactions.
    
    I didn't mention gevent. I thik there should be a section on gevent,
    but I think it should be written by someone who's used gevent with
    ZODB. :)
    
    Maybe there should also be a section or mention of using asyncio with
    ZODB, pr maybe later.
