Comment:

 Nice find. :-)

 I like where you're going with this patch, but it also needs to do a PHP
 version check. The `p:` syntax was introduced in PHP 5.3, but WordPress
 still supports PHP 5.2.

 Also, a minor coding standard thing - there's no need to use the curly
 brackets in `"p:{$host}"`.

 I'm okay with PHP 5.2 users who've deliberately forced mysqli to be used
 to not have persistent connections.
