How does the MySQL C API handle this?
I think using array() is pretty sucky. Look at the following example and
I'm sure you're planning on it getting much worse.
mysql_connect("foo", array("bar" => 1, "hello" => 2));

I don't think it'll always be negligible.
It might not always be a bad idea but I think that if we support this easy
to use function we're going to see this kind of stuff pop-up in more
places than the very few places which just can't do without.
