[Ruby-dbi-devel-new] some ideas on type conversion

[Erik Hollensbe]

Here's what I've come up with on type conversion, sorry for the ugly  
URL. If you'd prefer, you can get the latest git repo, switch to the  
"development" repo, and look in the "prototypes" directory. Please  
let me know if anything is unclear or requires flames. :)

I'm on vacation this week, so I should have plenty of time to work on  
things. One of the other things I plan to do is expand the test suite  
to exercise the full spec. This should work out where our supported  
DBDs for 0.4.0 still need help, and probably where the spec should be  
changed to reflect reality, too.

Mike, how interested would you be in tackling the prepare_cached  
implementation in parallel with the changes above? You'd probably be  
hitting a moving target, and would have to work on more than the Pg  
implementation. :)
