There is a misstatement in the CLOSE reference page, now that we

have cursors that might outlive their creating transactions. A
patch is attached that fixes this (suggestions on better wording
are welcome).

Every non-holdable open cursor is implicitly closed when a

<command>ROLLBACK</command>. Holdable cursors are implicitely
closed if the transaction that created them aborts via
<command>ROLLBACK</command>; if this does not happen, the holdable
cursor remains open until an explicit <command>CLOSE</command> is
executed, or the client disconnects.
