So the questions are
(1) Is it worth (or even possible?) to add those methods in anticipation of
JDBC 3.0? Such methods might not be called with prior versions of JDBC,
but otherwise are likely harmless.
(2) Should we provide feedback to the people writing the JDBC 3.0 specs?
Perhaps suggest an alternative?

P.S. The whole point of Gump is to experimentally use the latest versions
of dependencies...
