Should the configuration support "keepSlave"?

[jonathaningram]

In DBAL's MasterSlaveConnection, it supports the keepSlave option:

$this->keepSlave = isset($params['keepSlave']) ? (bool)$params['keepSlave'] : false;

@stof is there any reason you chose to not add it when you implemented #53?

I am finding that the slave is overwritten (and ignored) because of calls to SET NAMES UTF8 in the same request so I'd like to be able to configure this in the options.

Note: a current work around I am using to to wrap DBAL's MasterSlaveConnection in my own class and just set the keepSlave setting to true in the constructor. This is hard-coded though, not configurable.

The reason is that keepSlave has been added in DBAL 2 months ago, so 3 months after the PR you linked :)

Ah that would make sense. I'll make a PR.
