 Currently, when no explicit transaction is in progress, and an automatic
 flush occurs, the changes so far are committed.

 Instead, it would be better if a flush of the buffered changes occurred,
 but not commit() happened.

 This would lead to more predictable behaviour from the API (in particular,
 if a lot of documents are added without a flush, currently, a user may see
 that some of them are available for searching, and not realise that an
 explicit flush() is needed to make them all available).

 This would probably be easiest to implement in conjunction with the
 changes to support #266, so I've marked this as blocked by #266.
