I do not agree on the statement developers write genuie applications. Native interfaces are there to
get most out of a specific interface/library from a specific application. As there is no security
concern or severe performance impact, developer shall have full control. There's no need to
differ from the logic of the underlying C library to ensure somewhat consistent behaviour among the
same family of interfaces/libraries of a specific vendor.

I'm not sure I agree. For compression the developer should know what data to expect. Encryption
should be configured alongside with host/user/password which usually happens in the application.
Having more places overriding each others makes it hard to figure out which settings arebeing used
in the end.

Description:
------------
Using or not using mysql compression (or encryption) is a administrative decision,
not decision that should be left for programmer as he usualy has no idea what is
mysql configuration, what storage does it use and quite often this programmer just
writes genuine aplications.
default for compression in mysql client (MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS) should be settable
in php.ini

This would also to permanent connections but You made it into two diffrent
commands so it would be more difficult.
