And with this, I have a working rewrite of the manned.org backend into
FU. \o/
The $st->row methods are very useful even for queries that may not
return anything, so their old behavior was unhelpful. Interestingly
enough, the error-on-multiple-rows did catch an actual bug in
Manned.org, so I'm keeping that behavior.
...I was hoping not to have to implement the date type, because date
conversions suck, but it turns out manned.org actually needs it.
(Only to then convert it into a Unix timestamp again, hmm, maybe this
string conversion isn't useful at all?)
What I'd really like, in addition to this, is a way to extract a query
from an $st object that can be run in the psql CLI. VNDB has a debugging
feature for that, but it's less trivial to make that work with binary
query parameters.
Realized that, since html_() now returns a string, it's just as easy to
just pass that to fu->set_body(); no need for integration complexity.
Combined import options don't save much typing, not worth the overhead
either.
