-------------------------+-----------------------------
 The custom query class `wpdb` methods (`get_col`, `get_car`, `update`,
 `delete`...) all use the underlying `query` method which (since WP 2.1)
 has a filter hook 'query' which allows modification of the sql query.

 Some queries are specific to the internals of a plugin's functionality and
 are not meant to be exposed to other plugins/functionality, however,
 currently, there is no mechanism to suppress this filter.

 Would it make sense to add a boolean flag on the `$wpdb` instance which
 would allow developers to suppress any query modification?

 Something like `$wpdb->suppress_filters` which would be set to false by
 default.
