Two small notes:
- if you use the tls plugin, all connection notes are lost after the
TLS setup is complete (we should add a hook here, so we can re-run
stuff done in the hook_connect)
[note to self: add this to the docs/plugins.pod]
- don't open the connection in hook_pre_connect (even if this works for
text notes in -async and -forkserver) you will run into trouble...
What about adding a post-fork hook for -prefork? We could open a db
connection there and just pass the open fh from $self->{_db_fh} to
a connection note.
