some DB::quote() options?

Hi Folks: I'd like to propose some ehnancements to the DB::quote() function. Adding two parameters would be very helpful. The first proposal is $null. It's would be optional and default to 'null' If set to 'notnull' the method would return a blank string instead of "NULL" This is helpful for fields has been defined as "char() default '' NOT NULL" The second proposal is $type. It would permit users to override PHP's gettype() determinations. This is helpful for situations like when someone is submitting a numeric value but it's going into a char() field in the database. While on this topic, I'm wondering why the string() method in DB/common.php puts quotes around everything, regardless of data type. This isn't "standard."
