 =head2 txn_scope_guard
 
-Return an object that does stuff.
+An alternative way of transaction handling based on
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage::TxnScopeGuard>:
+
+ my $txn_guard = $storage->txn_scope_guard;
+
+ $row->col1("val1");
+ $row->update;
+
+ $txn_guard->commit;
+
+If an exception occurs, or the guard object otherwise leaves the scope
+before C<< $txn_guard->commit >> is called, the transaction will be rolled
+back by an explicit L</txn_rollback> call. In essence this is akin to
+using a L</txn_begin>/L</txn_commit> pair, without having to worry
+about calling L</txn_rollback> at the right places. Note that since there
+is no defined code closure, there will be no retries and other magic upon
+database disconnection. If you need such functionality see L</txn_do>.
