Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 [attachment:21663-PDO-merge.diff​ 21663-PDO-merge.diff​] is my first
 attempt to merge the PDO driver into `wpdb`, which was way more brutal a
 task than it looks in the diff. Took me like 7 tries. A Meta Query unit
 test fails, but everything else passes.

 Adding this as a conversation piece.
