FbDbc is currently implemented on the DSQL interface. When the new API
is defined an implemented, FbDbc will be (compatibly) re-implemented on
the new API. FbDbc is and will remain a layered interface for C++. It
is not a candidate for the new API, although it will probably be
semantic equivalent.

There is no reason that FbDbc could not be compiled for as many C++
implementations as necessary for desirable, which eliminates the
exception problem.

As for other languages, I don't think it is unreasonable to implement a
small interface layer between an object interface with a C++ binding and
any language specific interface.
