It thought about that, and it would be weird if people used a cursor
for further queries after consuming it, yes. But hey, who are we to
deny them to do that? :D I wouldn't go about creating and maintaining
new objects and interfaces only to limit the possibility.

My idea is that those who are interested in using `conn.execute()` are
exactly the people who don't care about having execute() on a cursor.
I think there's no harm in leaving it there :)
