It's not; in fact, db_wrap.c is SWIG-generated code while the old
bsddb module was a hand-written extension.  Is it OK to add a
SWIG-generated module to the core?  (I have an irrational dislike
SWIG's trick of encoding pointers as strings, because it provides a
way to deliberately engineer core dumps; it's just sort of
unsettling.)
