Warp my code around a language limitation? Only if I absolutely have to.

The subtransactions are NOT concepted as separate transactions. They
are effectively the database equivalent of a try/except block. Would
you want to have to use a different name for a builtin just because
you're inside a try block?

a = int("123")
try:
    b = int1(user_input)
except ValueError:
    b = 0
c = int("234")

No. That assignment to b should be int(), same as a and c.
