Actually, thinking more about it, such a change might be necessary for a 
much better reason: it's probably needed to allow SSQLS to work with 
BLOBs.  Trying this is on the Wishlist, so I'll get to it eventually. 
Don't want for me to get around to it.  Just realize that if you do hack 
your copy of the library to add this, it might become official for a 
different reason.
