Very cool!

I might have a need for it. When I moved mysql-native to github actions, 
I could no longer run mysql integration tests on MacOS or Windows, since 
there is no docker support for a mysql instance on those platforms. I 
can probably install mysql manually at some point, but I haven't looked 
into it.

At least for MacOS, this sounds like a way I can run a mysql instance 
that the MacOS host can talk to.

At some point, I will give it a try!
