Description:
------------
Classes PDO and PDOStatement do not implement any interface, making it harder to add custom behaviour. For example, PDO does not handle reconnecting to database, which is an issue especially in long running processes. The best shot at implementing this feature is creating custom behaviour classes with the same methods as PDO/PDOStatement (most of it should just be adapter stuff). Unfortunately the custom behaviour class cannot be used in functions which have PDO/PDOStatement typehint, making them useless.

If PDO and PDOStatement implemented interfaces, it would be possible for the custom behaviour classes to implement those interfaces as well, making them interchangeable. No changes needed in callers of PDO/PDOStatement.

One way to approach this is by subclassing PDO and PDOStatement. You can use the PDO:: ATTR_STATEMENT_CLASS driver option to tell a PDO object which PDOStatement subclass to return from PDO::prepare().

If you have a different use case in mind, an API change like this would require an RFC. There's a description of the process here:

Thanks for the reported request!
I've just created my PR and started internal discussion.

Will see how it goes :)

Apparently, it did not, and someone would need to pursue the RFC
process[1].  For the time being, I suspend this ticket.
