If I want to nest sql queries, such that each inner query depends on a row of 
the outer query, I can do this in pear, because running a new query doesn't 
wipe away the current result set. But with phplib, I'd need to loop through the 
entire outer query, store the results somewhere, and then do all of the inner 
queries.
