Not to blow my own horn /too/ loudly, but this was something I mentioned =
some=20
time ago.

At the time, I added that it would be nice to, say, be able to write a dr=
iver=20
that supported one param style (say, the one that the C interface layer=20
supported best), and have a DBI base layer do all the necessary conversio=
ns=20
for the other param styles, so that the application programmer need only =
pick=20
a paramstyle most suited to the application.
