You can't bind individual values? Is there something wrong with 
"bindParameter(value, paramIndex)"? (I mean, besides the fact that it 
takes a ref, and, like the rest of the lib, isn't really documented 
anywhere outside of the code itself.)

I do agree though, mysql-native *definitely* needs an API refresh. (In 
fact, I just happened to post several issues regarding that yesterday, 
and another person posted one as well. I want to take care of this ASAP, 
especially b/c it makes sense to do so before fixing the near-total lack 
of docs, which is already in desperate need of addressing.)

Since you've found the need to wrap the API, would you mind taking a 
look through the current list of issues I've tagged "api" (although I 
see several of them are yours), and post any thoughts or add any 
additional issues you might have? I'd like to address these things ASAP, 
and input from people who use the lib and have issues with the API would 
be highly valuable:
