No it wouldn't have to return that, no fucking way in hell :)

The point is that each Storage::DBI::* would map that string to the 
appropriate DBD-specific constant internally and handle stuff appropriately 
from there - if you start including data type numbers you're getting 
storage-specific crap bleeding out into your classes again, at which point I 
start getting ready to stab you in the face :)
