Merged in.

Thanks.

btw, my fingers are itching everytime I see that connection.d file. I
would really like to rip apart this huge mess and restructure
everything

  • I hate those gigantic spaghetti modules. But then again I'd rather

leave it like this to keep it compatible with the other forks..

The simendsjo fork is the only other one I'm aware of (other than Steve
Teale's original, but I think it's safe to assume Teale's not likely to
continue it since nobody's heard from him in a year). And, though I hate
to put words in anyone's mouth, simendsjo doesn't seem particularly
interested anymore: IIRC, he's said he's not using MySQL anymore, and
his last commit was a few months ago.

So unless there's other active forks I don't know about, I think this
might actually be a perfect time for restructuring, especially since the
vibe.d fork has just been synched up with simendsjo's.

Speaking of restructuring, I just noticed that there's another mysql
connection pool class inside connection.d. Probably one of simendsjo's
additions. We should probably look at that, pull anything good out into
the class in 'mysql/db.d', and then remove the one in connection.d.

Also on the same topic, do you think the Connection class in mysql/db.d
should maybe be renamed to something like "MySqlConnectionPool"?
"Connection" seems misleadingly generic, as if it's a parent interface
to TcpConnection and UdpConnection.
