I have heard from a number of people that this behavior is not very
newbie-friendly.  I can see how that is true.  I have an API revision
coming anyway, so perhaps this is the time to referse the default
laziness of HDBC calls (there would be a '-version of everything with
laziness enabled, still).

Thoughts?
