Passing an array with numeric indices to execute() expects 0 based
indices, to cater for this case.  Manually calling a bind function
expects 1 based indices, as this is the convention for the majority of
database APIs.

Look, PDO is new.  It's not breaking anything.  Stop claiming that it
is breaking things; it doesn't touch your code; it doesn't change the
external API of your code.  It doesn't make MDB, PEAR DB or any other
code change its names.  It's just different.  Deliberately.

That's a hell of a commute for me.

Maybe, but I don't see a compelling reason to change the names, or I
would have done it already.
