Accepted. Conceptually.
But we do we force the list to be homogeneous ? I think we should
support a mix-and-match style for hashrefs and params fairly easily.
I'm cc'ing the BTS because I don't expect to get to it right away--- I still
need to write some tests for the code I have so far.

ok.
Ironically, straight DBI returns a row as hashref, which is lightweight
and works well. Adding a param() method to Class::DBI adds a lot to
abstraction to basically reproduce the hashref which is available some
layers down. Can't CDBI just return a hashref for a row if it needs to?
(But this point doesn't need to be discussed in the FiF bug queue).
