I would probably like that.  Is it documented anywhere?

I have.  The basic premise of writing to a more or less database
independent API appeals to me.  The "specification", however, doesn't
appear to contain the words "quote", "quoting", "quoted", etc.  :-(

Python seems to call it a "specification" whenever some doc reaches the
"covers 90% of normal usage" state.  Sometimes that's good enough, but
I suspect it's at the root of a lot of the half-baked reinventions of
various wheels that litter the vaults... and many more than never
become that visible.
