I do know about PEAR::DB - I looked at the IDEAS file to see what was
planned. I probably should have reviewed the PEAR DEV list, but - hey -
I can't read every PHP list.
I respect the work that the PEAR team has done. Please don't make an
issue of something that we do not need to worry about yet.
I will keep writing my code. When I have something useable, I will
present it to whoever is interested. It can be integrated into PEAR or
PHP or nothing -- whatever works best for the users.
