I googled for "jdbc" and "forName", hoping that I'd find some with
a negative context for "forName", but these still seem to be too
well hidden (like e.g. on second result page)...

Any hint for some more more successful google-terms for the
new feature?

I only remember, when having to call "registerDriver" finally
came out of fashion - in favour of just "forName"ing the driver
class.
