Ah, interesting. The only reason I took at it was because you don't
have to pfaff with encoding/escaping values* the way you have to SQL.
SQL injection vulnerabilities don't exist. 

* And the protocol handles binary values which normally have to pfaff
about getting in and out of MySQL with the various PHP apis.

Does seem a bit specialised, could have a persistent cache, maybe as a
session handler.
