Comment (by nacin):

 @pento, any thoughts on this?

 ----

 How do other software projects handle configuration for this? I presume
 they do not use constants, and thus can use an array (in the case of PHP
 projects).

 Replying to [comment:7 szaqal21]:
 > Keep in mind that solution based on constants will force SSL for every
 new connection so there could be problem when creating new wpdb for
 database which doesn't support SSL. I think SSL should be set per wpdb
 object.

 I agree with the concern here.
