pick a generous length, i.e., a length larger than the longest value that
would ever be
returned. The only cost of using a larger value than needed is wasted memory.
-It is expected that few drivers will support this method. The only
-driver currently known to do so is DBD::Oracle (DBD::ODBC may support
-it in a future release). Therefore it should not be used for database
-independent applications.
-
Undefined values or C<undef> are used to indicate null values.

Okay. I'll take that as a vote for bind_param_by_ref as an alias for
bind_param_inout. >>todo.
+bind_param_by_ref (or bind_param_byref) could be provided as a fallback
+method using a BeforeExecute hook to call bind_param with the 'current value'
+from the reference.
+
+Should ParamValues hold the value or the ref?
+Use ParamAttr to indicate byref?
