 opposed to fixing HHVM's buggy implementation)?

 The [http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.get-client-version.php php.net
 example] suggests that connection is not required to determine the version
 of MySQL client library:
 {{{

 <?php

 /* We don't need a connection to determine
    the version of mysql client library */

 printf("Client library version: %d\n", mysqli_get_client_version());
 ?>
 }}}

 It also looks like `mysql_get_client_version()` (non-MySQLi) does not
 exist. `$wpdb->has_cap( 'utf8mb4' )` produces a fatal error with
 `WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL` set to true:
 {{{
 Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_get_client_version() in wp-
 includes/wp-db.php on line 2810
 }}}

 [http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-get-client-info.php
 mysql_get_client_info()] does exist though. See [attachment:31644.patch].
