To be able to write functions that are not dependent on a particular
database.

Imagine for example that the DB is chosen at runtime.  With this
approach, one has only to write conditional code to create the
[connection] and [conversion] objects, the rest of the source applies
to any DB.  (Some more on this is the file RATIONALE that comes with
the tarball.)

Cheers,
