Implement "transactional fixtures" (or "transactional tests") about testfixtures HOT 3 OPEN

Would it simply work to just add another function like this

fixtures, err = testfixtures.NewFolderWithTx(tx, &testfixtures.PostgreSQL{}, "testdata/fixtures")

and replace the sql.DB with a sqlTx?

I haven't looked at closely but with my limited go knowledge I suspect it would cause an explosion of code duplication internallly, but I'm mostly thinking out loud about the public API

from testfixtures.

I am currently doing this using this library in conjunction with go-txdb i have a shell script that runs my tests, and i load the fixtures once using the testfixtures cli, and then run go test ./...

I would be interested in seeing a go API to do this as well though.

@KoduIsGreat I don't think there's a reason to specifically use the CLI to load fixtures. You could use the library to load fixtures once, and then use go-txdb to wrap each test in a transaction.
