That can probably use clarification.

Doesn't work.  Connection owns the DBDriver instance, and we do need 
that, to abstract away the difference between database servers.  Right 
now, we only support MySQL, but one day, we might want to open two 
connections, each to a different server.  A call to thread_start() on 
each will necessarily do something different, and it's the DBDriver that 
offers those different facilities.
