named conections are deprecated

[peacemaster]

Why you refused named conections?

Are there any alternative ways to use them?

How are you using them?

I connect to more then one database, and using this connections in the code

dibi::connect(array('driver'   => 'mssql', 'host'     => 'localhost1', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => 'pass'), 'mssql_db_local');
dibi::connect(array('driver'   => 'mysql', 'host'     => 'localhost2', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => 'pass'), 'mysql_db_main');

$main_db = dibi::getConnection( 'mysql_db_main' );

Isn't this better?

$localDb = new \DibiConnection(array(
    'driver' => 'mssql',
    'host' => 'localhost1',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => 'pass'
));

$mainDb = new \DibiConnection(array(
    'driver' => 'mssql',
    'host' => 'localhost2',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => 'pass'
));

To create more connection and to use getConnection() is (relatively) OK, it can be reverted. Problematic is activate().

+1 I'd also like to keep the ability to create more connections and access them with getConnection($name).

"The feature isn't there and it's not gonna be there." :) No really, creating more instances doesn't make DibiConnection also a registry of its own kind, which is much cleaner architecture.
