Comment (by dd32):

 If it's 100% compatible, it sounds like something that could be
 implemented directly in $wpdb - but that makes it more complicated for
 existing installations (As you'd need it prior to install?)

 We can't just add it to the config file either, as we support db.php
 dropins for other database setups (Such as hyperdb) which may or may not,
 use mysql_*() functions.
