I'm wondering if I can just have a simple

     transPipe runResourceT $ sourceQuery ...

wrapper so that old callers can remain unmodified. This would give the 
old callers the (Source IO [SQLData]) that they expect. As far as I can 
tell, the open/close behavior would not be modified by transPipe.

Is there any reason that this wouldn't work?
