I would have filed a wish, not a bug. They are both filed in the
bugzillas that I'm familiar with. In any case, I'm not filing as I've
no account there and I'll not be filing many bugs for that software.
If someone else wants to file a wish, be my guest.

No, I sanitize the values, and only then I decide if the value (now
sanitized and safe to work with) should go to the database. And only
if it's going to the database do I open a connection.
