I did another more thorough review of the code, yes you're right. Both 
functions works in the quite the same way.

store_result uses convert_rows, and fetch_result does this work internally. As 
this subfunctions are inlined, the result should be comparable.

Ok, go ahead. Please do some tests of this change for trunk, preferable with 
load. The only affected functions are query and raw_query, so INSERT and 
UPDATE should be safe. You could also remove the now unneeded convert_rows 
function.
