Could get_info be expanded to include this?

On the other hand, making it a non-core module greatly increases the
chances that they will have a more reasonably recent version of DBI. :)

My own:

* Gettting rid of bind_param, or at least making it flexible so that I
can specify a placeholder type without sending a value (and vice-versa)
and bind a bunch of params in one command (e.g. a hashref of placeholder
names).

* Making the fetch series a bit more intuitive (and shorter named), so I
can avoid doing things like this:

$info = $sth->fetchall_arrayref({});

* Fixing this problem:

$dbh->connect(... {RaiseError = 0}) or die "Blah..\n";
$dbh->{RaiseError} = 1;
