GQL is indeed highly similar. Like the new API, it is modelled
on JDBC. I could find documentation only on DriverManager and
Connection. They differ in a number of ways:

1. They have changed the names of almost all methods to be
"C like" -- "prepare_statement" instead of "prepareStatement".
2. They don't seem to worry as much about object lifetime.
3. They don't seem to be worrying about extensibility.

If anybody would like to do some more investigation I would appreciate
a report on any interesting ideas they may have.

Since I need something right now for the ODBC driver, I'm not
inclined to join their band wagon.
