Is there a need for START TRANSACTION ?

[byo]

SQL standard defines START TRANSACTION statement to begin new transaction. However most of SQL engines currently support BEGIN TRANSACTION which is what immudb supports.

We would like to keep immudb SQL syntax clean and (similarly to what go language promotes) avoid having multiple ways of doing one thing. In order to support START TRANSACTION statement we would have to have a clear reason to support it - e.g. an ORM framework that uses START TRANSACTION when talking over psql protocol. Please let us know in the discussion if you find such use case.
