Save a minor detail.  It would be

begin;
        savepoint;
                select 0/0;  -- abort
                savepoint;  -- commands will be ignored
                select 1; -- commands will be ignored
                release; -- commands will be ignored
                release; -- commands will be ignored
commit; -- abort message

Note that I'm trying to tell you something with the indenting; all those
commands are inside one and the same subtransaction.

And I'm not planning to do anonymous savepoint.  Do these buy us
anything?
