Use with Makara and other Connection Proxies

[jdalt]

Because this gem defines a new connection adapter, it appears that it cannot be used with connection proxies like https://github.com/taskrabbit/makara that also define another adapter based off of mysql2.

Is this true? Is there a simple way to use both connections adapters?

It doesn't seem that defining a new connection adapter is strictly necessary as I know of another gem that adds new data types to ActiveRecord but maintains the same adapter - https://github.com/iangreenleaf/native_enum. This does appear to come at some cost of complexity in the Gem file though.
