utf8

[kasperhartwich]

Could be an idea to include utf8 support either incorporated or in documentation:

$db = new pdoext_Connection(
    $dsn,
    $username,
    $password,
    array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES \'UTF8\'')
);

That's not a bad idea. Although I think it would be a bit hard to implement it in a safe way, so it would perhaps be best to just mention in the documentation. If you'll make the changes and open a pull request, I'll merge it.
