I understand that, but is there a way to make something like
#sanitize_sql available for the general public ?  Isn't it a useful
method ?

In my application, I did it another way - I used #count, which ends up
calling count_by_sql.  The nice thing is that #sanitize_sql was
called, so I simply had to provide the parameters in the right format.

In that case, maybe it's not such a useful method...

Anyway, thanks for the heads up !
