No it isn't, it's improving Class::DBI's support for the DBI documented
standard approach of getting the last inserted id.

Stunningly depressing how bad support in the various DBDs is though; DBD::Pg
didn't used to handle it, so DBIx::Class uses a completely different approach
(basically "fun with finding sequence names via heuristics" ... don't ask :)
