When you pass a string like "sqlite:" to create_database it gets
converted to a URI object.  That URI object is passed to a
backend-specific Database subclass that uses it to setup its
internal state.  Currently, the URI object is used to create this
internal state, but not stored.  I think it could make sense to
provide a 'uri' attribute to make it easy to get the information you
describe.

So you'd be able to do something like:

database = create_database("sqlite:wubble.sqlite")
print database.uri.database

Does it matter that we'd be exposing the connection password through
this API?  It feels a bit wrong, but I'm not sure how wrong it
really is.

Thanks,
J.
