Good point.

I'm favouring a speedy iterator which gives a dependent row object,
and could then be copied into a standalone Row at the user's discretion.
But I'd need to study the code a bit more to untangle it fully. An argument
could be made that SSQLS serves the copying purpose of Row, and that Row
should be dependent anyway, since it is a core object. This would make sense
and be consistent with the rest of the library, where things depend on
connection in hidden ways.
