Its an interesting idea, but is there any reason for doing this as an
extension? You would have to update it every time mysqli adds new
parameter, and when then installing the ext on an older PHP version
would cause annoying inconsistencies between the proxy class and the
core ext.

Unless I'm missing something, this could be easily implemented in
userland.. As this ext seems to only support mysqli, the same thing
could be accomplished by simply extending the MySQLI* classes, and
overwriting the methods you would want to proxy..
