I'm kind of -1 on the idea of a module that doesn't actually do something
*useful*. Let's write some actual tests instead, and make them readable
enough that people can steal and repurpose the skeleton easily.

Agreed. We aren't going to accept any core tests that depend on DBI/DBD.
Now, that might be a fine example for tests written to test something that
uses Postgres ... but not as an example of how to write a core test.
