If I get you right, your patch would definitely not work in a
traditional
environment, so it will never be the default.
However, I see no reason against adding such a patch on behalf of the
user. For example, one could use it like this:
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:mysql_unicode_quote=1")
If you can send me a working patch, I'll be happy to add the optional
use.
Bye,
Jochen
