I have shown this to a guy who was going to reimplement a mysql client based on
those docs.
You probably meant me. If we create MySQL client without using C
bindings then we would have one of the fastest bindings at all. It may
attract some people who write web apps to D. The same applies to
PostgreSQL for which I wrote client without using a C binding.
I know it adds some maintaining effort but we may choose opportunistic
approach. Use direct access where possible and fallback to C lib otherwise.
Another argument for using direct access is easy deployment of
applications, especially when client resides in the std library.
