Description:
------------
DBDO documentation says you can access the _lastError
property in two ways:
1. directly
2. through PEAR::getStaticProperty()
The 2nd option doesn't seem to work and there's nothing
in the code to suggest that it should work (no calls to
set up such a reference in the first place).
Although it's easy enough to get around this by writing
my own fixes I think it does make sense to provide a
standard, public way to access the last error.
Also it would be helpful if there were a way to access
the last error for a specific instance of DBDO (i.e.
$do->lastError() and $do->staticLastError() )

Reproduce code:
---------------
$e2 = &PEAR::getStaticProperty(
"DB_DataObject",
"lastError"
);
$e =& $record->_lastError;
if (PEAR::isError($e)) {
$db->rollback();
echo "<pre>\nError:\n";
print_r($e2);
echo "</pre>";
exit;
}

Expected result:
----------------
Error:

DB_DataObject_Error object (
... lots of stuff here ...
)

Actual result:
--------------
Error:
