# programmer need only pick a paramstyle most suited to the application.

	This sounds reasonable.  I like the 'pyformat' style, but 'qmark'
can have special meaning that could optimize queries quite a bit.  It'd be
great to get both.

	Just to be clear, I don't mind that there are five styles, just
that the driver developer gets to pick one instead of the user.
