The whole point of PDO was that anything that was not available across
ALL drivers would be emulated in some way, or flagged in a way that does
not break code, so nothing should be added specifically targeting a
particular driver if it will cause problems when someone selects a
different driver to run the same application.
The question today is if PDO is actually the right base to be building
on, or should a better attempt be made at solving the cross database
problems. ADOdb is still the better benchmark for a lot of the 'loose
ends' that plague PDO.
