It did not strike me earlier, but it looks a bit weird to have
connection.execute() return a "cursor" to read results while this
"cursor" can also be used to execute commands. So, perhaps, another
object, with only the interface for result retrieval would be more
appropriate?

Otherwise, that's a very nice addition, thanks!
