Well, found it, afterall, but I'm not overly impressed.
iiuc, then instead of providing the driver class name and
the dbURI for an app, I'd instead provide the dbURI to
the app, and need to provide the used drivername(s) already
to the JVM.

Not saying that there couldn't be cases where this would be
advantageous, I just can't think of one right now.
