	That may be true but it would save me from having to build 30 
	Handlers for the different AuthBy SQL and Session databases.  
	
	The idea is to add some attribute in a prehandler which identifes 
	the corresponding database(s).  Since I know in prehandler what 
	databases to use it is simply a replacement and race conditions 
	would mostly be avoided.

	I have 30 or so different databases with the exact same schema, so 
	the only difference is the DBI connection string.  It's a pain to 
	have to use 30 different handlers just because I can't dynamically 
	change the DBSource and Session identifiers with a prehandler 
	hook.

	So there is a very good use for it.
