Implement USE INDEX/FORCE INDEX for MySQL

[tsmgeek]

There was a ZF1 ticket http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-7570 that was a request to implement USE INDEX/FORCE INDEX in the Zend_Db_Select class.

It seems that this user implemented it directly within the main Zend_Db_Select class without any abstraction to the Adapters, would this have been incorrect?

If it was re-factored into such and CLA provided could it be implemented?

The answer is quite simple: No unit tests == no implementation.
(Btw. At this point we do not add new features to version 1. ZF2 is the right target for that.)

Shame as it would be very useful for some users of ZF1 as re-factoring to ZF2 for many is too much.

Shame…

Why?

I extend my answer: At this point we (usually) do not add new features to version 1.
So create a PR with (!) unit tests and we will review it. Unit tests are always needed.
