I've got a patch that includes this that I am preparing.  It's embedded in a
significant set of changes.  

Now that 22.1 is out, I'll send it along shortly.  Unfortunately, long hours
at work have slowed my progress.  I hope to send it along in the next couple
of weeks.

I believe the safe-local-variable change ought to be made to 22.2.  This use
of sql-product is exactly what it was intended to do.
