Yes, to convince, at least me. I still don't understand, what this
should be good for. If it is fine for you, with a limited number of
drivers supported, then you may very well use it. You may as well
write a DBIx extension or do whatever you want. For example, this
could easily be implemented as a DBI subclass with a slightly
different connect method.

However, in general, the DBI is based on the DSN as a string with
almost no syntactical rules. Drivers have used this liberty, with good
reasons. Why leave this at all?
