Thread-oblivious. I'm not expecting to share connections between
threads.  Very few database APIs can cope with such a thing.
If you want shared connections, I understand that Steve Redler
is working on a 'tdbc::network' proxy interface that uses sockets;
I suspect it could fairly easily be reworked to use threads and
memchans.
