Description
Looking into persistent-mysql it looks that it's possible to do queries only thought connections managed by persistent.
Is there any strong motivation behind that or it's just supposed that you should use DB only through persistent?

Research direction
Start by reviewing persistent-mysql and how connections are managed by persistent. Determine whether supplying an external connection is intentionally unsupported and what design or implementation implications that would have. Done would require a documented rationale or a clearly scoped proposal for supporting user-provided connections.
