Dan has suggested that checking for isClosed could be sufficient in the embedded version. It would be good to hear if other have opinions about this. If I do not get other suggestions I will probably propose that the next patch (checking only for isClosed) being reviewed and commited.
Since the API spec, explicitly mentions running a query to validate the connection, I think it would be best to do that. Also, it does not seem very meaningful to add a new method that does exactly the same as an existing method.
