· All dbh handel offspring (statement handles and such)
available from the top level handle, for both status
and cleanup purposes
· Generic (DBI level) possibility to enable DBD debugging
I enabled $dbh->{DBDverbose}, to be the DBD counterpart
of DBI::trace (), and later renamed that - on Tim's
request - to $dbh->{uni_verbose}, but IMHO the usefulness
warrants a high level attribute
