[Glass] Alternative commitOnAlmostOutOfMemoryDuring: ?

Guys,

I find #commitOnAlmostOutOfMemoryDuring:  very useful but it has the drawback that it might now commit (if there wasn't an almost out of memory exception).

So I was thinking a variant that does:

commitOnAlmostOutOfMemoryDuring: aBlock

self almostOutOfMemoryStaticHandlerInstalled

ifTrue: [ ^aBlock value ].

[

self installAlmostOutOfMemoryStaticHandler: 75.

aBlock value.

                System commitTransaction.

 ]

ensure: [ self uninstallAlmostOutOfMemoryStaticHandler ]

Notice the added       System commitTransaction.

would that be useful ?

With a guaranteed commit, the name should be changed to reflect its intent. e.g. #commitDuringAndAfter: (not a very good name, but you get the idea)
