Indeed.  However, because of how I'm building my queries, I don't know
in advance which params are going to be strings and which are ints.  So
now I'm having to do ...

$val = $dbh->quote($val) if($val !~/^-?\d+(\.\d+)?$/);

and things are beginning to look really messy.  Not to mention that I
got the regex wrong twice.  Which gets me back to wanting placeholders.
