 > Your last changes will not work since use_mysqli is a private property.

 Are you referring to the unit test? It does work, because of
 `wpdb::__get()`.

 > Also the patch is not backwards compatible when people use socket
 connections and it's not the default one in php.ini. See

 driver/commit/ac7700d4eb20d05dd91edf0ead63727153bb7e12.

 Good catch, I'll have a play around with this.
