You're arguing theory against reality. Are you seriously asking me to
break the ABI, just to cover a case where the MySQL database is -- I
would argue -- deliberately misconfigured?

Maybe we should mandate that wheels be welded onto car axles because
someone could remove all the lug nuts but one. It could happen!

There could also be breakdown of the server just in that tiny moment.

Yes, and there could also be a microcomet that comes through my roof,
crushing my 'e' key, so I can't type my password.

If you want to continue that line, let's talk probabilities, and balance
that against return.

I've withdrawn that change because it breaks the ABI, pointlessly.

Pointless depends onyour viewpoint, wether you want to get your library
correct or just nearly correct.

The feature is slated for a future revision, where breaking the ABI is
more acceptable. If that's not soon enough, give me a rational reason
why not.
