> JPA allows users to call makePersistent outside a transaction, and then when beginning and committing a transaction, the instances are made persistent.
> This is similar to nontransactional dirty in which the managed instances can be modified outside a transaction and then the changes committed within a transaction.
> From the JPA spec, "When an EntityManager with an extended persistence context is used, the persist, remove, merge, and refresh operations may be called regardless of whether a transaction is active. The effects of these operations will be committed to the database when the extended persistence context is enlisted in a transaction and the transaction commits."
> This behavior should not be the default behavior (for backward compatibility reasons if not the principle of least surprise) so it should be under control of a PersistenceManager and PersistenceManagerFactory flag, perhaps NontransactionalNew.
