We still have the func() method for the users of DBI < 1.608, and we're
testing both features provided by installed methods and the ones by the
func().
We should say it louder (in blogs etc) that now we recommend to use
installed methods instead of using older func() as the former is a
modern best practice, and I've already noted that in the pod, but we
shouldn't remove the func() right now, as it surely breaks existing
codes (as DBI that supports SQLite's installed method was released on
the 5th May 2009, it's too early to deprecate our func()).
