I did try (for example 
https://github.com/teamhackback/hb-ddb/pull/38, branch with the 
buffer: 
https://github.com/Boris-Barboris/hb-ddb/commits/buffered_sockets),
up until the point I understood I dislike it so much it would be 
easier for me to rewrite it. Amount of possible message 
combinations made me write some hack methods like 
prepare_and_bind, bind_and_query, bind_and_execute... I kinda 
gave up.

It is rare indeed, I would not recommend it to anyone sane, but 
abstractions leak, and when they do, they better not have 
everything marked private or belong to separate address space.
