I think you would have to subclass DBI to create database handles that
understand the new methods. But it would be interesting for DBI's
dbhandles to have an AUTOLOAD (or equivalent) that first attempts a
$dbh->func call with that name. I don't know if that's worse or
better than a controlled subclass. :)
