I'm sorry, you're right and we're all wrong.  All of us.  We, the
stupid core developers of PHP, have been, for more than 2 years
off-and-on, discussing the wrong solution to the problem.  How could
we be so blind?  Aren't we dumb?
We are mistaken that the C code is inconsistent and needs fixing. 
We're wrong to want to make it better.  We're wrong to also want to
make it more uniform.

yes, yes, yes, we should stick with the current state of our database
extensions.... because a third party abstraction layer that uses them
would need to be rewritten.

Excuse me while I remove PDO from CVS.  NOT!!!

Right.  Try it.  It's faster than adodb, I assure you.
It's the as fast as the raw database drivers, because... you'll love,
this, really you will..... PDO drivers *are* raw database drivers!
wow!
Aren't you glad that you went and read up on the facts before making a
fool of yourself now??

OK, so don't use it.  But *please* read up on the facts before spreading FUD.
