That's a good idea - especially, since this would make it very easy to
use a Class::DBI class as the source of the driver:

   $s = new CGI::Session(My::CDBI::Users->db_Main);

I think that would be a very good idea.  It is a pain to keep in mind a
bunch of exceptions when converting from the DBD driver name to the
db driver for another module.

Database drivers for the following projects (and probably others) name
their drivers after the DBD driver:

    Class::DBI::Loader
    Class::DBI::Factory
    Tangram
    SPOPS

But (on the other hand) the following projects don't:

    Apache::Session
    Alzabo


Anyway, 4.0x is still flagged as a development release so I would guess
that it's fair game if the author agrees.
