 WP now has two "can the database do X?" functions in WPDB:
 $wpdb->supports_collation() and $wpdb->supports_subqueries().

 Attached adds a more generice $wpdb->has_cap( $cap ) that we can add to
 over time as needed.  Since the function returns false by default, it's
 forward compatible for plugins.

 Taken from HyperDB and BackPress.  If we want to call it something else
 ($wpdb->supports( $cap ) or something), we probably can.
