Said wacko can get the desired effect pretty simply by subclassing
Ima::DBI (which you're supposed to do anyway) and overriding set_sql.
That's what Class::DBI is doing actually, for some of the parameters
to set_sql.

I still think it makes more sense to put it in Class::DBI, but I don't
see it doing any real harm to put it here, so if you want to make a
patch for it, go ahead.  I'll change the if_active flag to 3 as well.

Would you guys mind explaining how this is causing problems for you?
I've used prepare_cached on Oracle, Postgres, and MySQL, and never had
any unexpected behavior from it.  I use it practically everywhere. And
I don't even set the if_active flag.
