Okay - but I think there's a difference there. Different database servers are
still SQL (well, mostly :/ ); I'm hard pressed to think of a similar example
where you'd want the same logic/code and just switch in a different driver, on
a general level. I can think of plenty of application-specific reasons for
doing so - preferences storage, etc - but those, IMHO, don't belong in PEAR.
Maybe people _do_ want these wrappers. And that's fine, and if they're made,
yes, they should go into Net/. I'm just not convinced yet of their worth.
