Develeopment branch is currently in feature freeze pending release of
version 8.1.

Meanwhile, I will observe that this very desirable feature needs an
interface with spi_fetchrow() - fetching large gobs of data all at once into
perl memory is just not nice.

We need to examine the names being used on our spi functions - I'm not sure
there is sufficient consistency about them.
