As discussed on the list [1], I believe access to the current transaction ID could be very useful for layering features above LMDB, such as concurrent writers, read-only to read-write promotion, or serving as an e-tag for polling.
A patch David-Barbour-141205.patch has been uploaded and includes a disclaimer to public-domain.
