Description:
------------
It would be nice if a function could be added to the sql functions allowing a persistant connection to be returned to the connection pool, for reuse by other scripts. 

This would be most useful in a very busy server where milliseconds count.

eg:
<?
$connection = mysql_pconnect(...);

do mysql stuff

mysql_prelease($connection);

do other perhaps time consuming stuff

?>
