It's a closure variable, not a global.  I suppose it could be changed to
a global without really hurting anything.  Basically though, I consider
looking at the values in there as about on par with shoving warn
statements into the Class::DBI code to help debug something (which I
have been known to do), so my feeling is that as long as it isn't hard
to do, we don't need to add explicit support for it.
