Scope
- Document "|" is not permitted in DriverInfo::name
- Consider restoring support for "|" as a delimiter.
Background & Motivation
The ODBC driver was using "|" as a delimiter in DriverInfo.name. Changes in RUST-2203 disallowed "|" and prevented connection.
Quoting conversation with natacha.bagnard@mongodb.com:
A couple of things would help avoid this kind of issue in the future:
- Flag this in the API itself because nothing says that | is not allowed [...]
- When making changes that will impact connectivity, it would be very much appreciated if this is called out in the release notes.
If permitting "|" only adds some ambiguity to parsing, it may be OK to restore.
