[DB-SIG] Optional DB API Extensions

[brian zimmer]

I like the other suggestions and I think the addition of .lastrowid is also
extremely useful.

first of all, thank you very much for writing "what i wanted to write by
i had not the time". here's a little addiction. some (longer) others
will come. what about the distinction of Official extensions (if you
implement the extension you _should_ implement it the dbapi way) and
Unofficial ones? Can we consider the ones in this pep unofficial and the
ones that get moved to the dbapi pep official? (s/// any term you like
for official/unofficial.)

here's my little addition:

     Cursor Attribute .lastrowid

         This read-only attribute provides the rowid of the last
         modified row (most databases return a rowid only when a single
         INSERT operation is performed.) If the operation does not set
         a rowid or if the database does not support rowids, this attribute
         should be set to None.
