it's WL#3288 (created 22 May 2006) for the API and server support and
WL#4603 (17 Oct 2008) for the default implementation in the handler
class.
Taking the opportunity to remind that I still need a review 
on my patch for 3288 :-).
Stewart, as for Drizzle, well, at the point you have a patch 
it will be a bit too late to decide whether we want to "pull
it in".
A storage engine API change that introduces cursors needs
architecture work and prototyping. I fear we will end up with 
3 disparate storage engine APIs in Drizzle, MySQL and MariaDB.
The current aim is to remove things that obviously aren't related to a
cursor and move them up.

e.g. create table is now in StorageEngine.

at some point s/handler/cursor/
