Yep, I'm thinking that I'll convert Alzabo's driver modules over to using
this once it exists.

FWIW, much of what Alzabo does in terms of a per-RDBMS subclass is _way_
beyond what DBI exists for (things like knowing how to generate
CREATE/DROP/ALTER SQL statements or what schema/table/column names are
valid).  That stuff is unlikely to move into a DBI subclass because its
not DBI type stuff.
