Yeah, I could have used multi-row inserts but I chose not to; I think a
single row insert is easier to understand but, for a simple example,
having one of each might have been a better idea.

Still, either way, the examples (either of ours) are more concise and
comprehensible than what ships with the MySql bindings.
