yep... but doing this in PHP is a pain, doing it in PHP and in SQL
is a double pain.
And unless support for MyISAM and sqlite is going to be dropped, and
I don't think right now is a good choice, using more "advanced"
DB features in core would be a double pain.

Another thing is helping people to exploit more advanced features in
their modules. Modules may have more exotic requirements than core.
