I'm not worried about limiting a connection pool to it's
max threads, which is still necessary to do, of course,
and I would be curious to see how your implementation
differs from my own ideas.

I want to ensure that a connection pool can actually
make use of all of its connections simultaneously if
it needs to (the performance half of why a connection
pool is used in the first place). If adbapi were to
ignore the reactor thread counts altogether, for example,
it would be pointless to specify a max connections greater
than 10 since the reactor won't let you use more than that
anyway, the default max thread count being 10 atm.
