def freeze(self):
"""Freezes the current state of 'message' within the database
This means that changes to the message state, (via :meth:`add_tag`,
:meth:`remove_tag`, and :meth:`remove_all_tags`), will not be
committed to the database until the message is :meth:`thaw`ed.
Multiple calls to freeze/thaw are valid and these calls will
"stack". That is there must be as many calls to thaw as to freeze
before a message is actually thawed.
The ability to do freeze/thaw allows for safe transactions to
change tag values. For example, explicitly setting a message to
have a given set of tags might look like this::
msg.freeze()
msg.remove_all_tags()
for tag in new_tags:
msg.add_tag(tag)
msg.thaw()
With freeze/thaw used like this, the message in the database is
guaranteed to have either the full set of original tag values, or
the full set of new tag values, but nothing in between.
Imagine the example above without freeze/thaw and the operation
somehow getting interrupted. This could result in the message being
left with no tags if the interruption happened after
:meth:`remove_all_tags` but before :meth:`add_tag`.
