That'd be rather pointless IMO, If your wanting to replace the database, then you use your own db class file anyway, All queries will be passed directly to the class, Your code would handle the query before its made.

It would probably be easier if all of WP used the prepare() functionality that 2.3 has introduced, AFAIK that means it'll be using something like "SELECT `id` FROM `table` WHERE `name` = '%s' ORDER BY %s" with parameters passed in, It would make it a lot easier for the database class to replace 'dodgy' queries with something more friendly for that database.
