/// \brief Converts many different data types to strings suitable for
/// use in SQL queries.
///
/// This class provides implicit conversion between many C++ types and
/// SQL-formatted string representations of that data without losing
/// important type information.  This class is not for direct use
/// outside MySQL++ itself.  It exists for those interfaces in MySQL++
/// that need to accept a value of any reasonable data type which it
/// will use in building a query string.
///
/// One major use for this is in the Query class interfaces for building
/// template queries: they have to be generic with respect to argument
/// type, but because we know we want the data in some kind of string
/// form eventually, we don't need to templatize it. The interface can 
/// just use SQLTypeAdapter, which lets callers pass any reasonable data
/// type. The adapter converts the passed value implicitly.
///
/// The other major use for this type is the quoting and escaping logic
/// in Query's stream interface: rather than overload the << operators
/// and the manipulators for every single type we know the rules for \e a 
/// \e priori, we just specialize the manipulators for SQLTypeAdapter.
/// The conversion to SQLTypeAdapter stringizes the data, which we needed
/// anyway for stream insertion, and holds enough type information so
/// that the manipulator can decide whether to do automatic quoting
/// and/or escaping.
