I'm not sure. The principle of having something like that makes sense
(more than just sense, it's highly useful), but DB-api functions have
been more or less doing that for years with the cursor("select * from
foo where bar = ?") approach. I'm not clear how much advantage new
syntax gives. I'll have to actually read the proposal in more detail
to really say.
