Why does Dapper Open for Query but not Execute

Question

I realize this might simply be a bug or oversight, but I sincerely doubt it:

When I run the following code:

using(var cnn = new SqlConnection(cnnString)) {
    return cnn.Query<Foo>("select top 15 * from Foo");
}

The Dapper Query method opens the connection before it runs anything.

When i run this code:

using(var cnn = new SqlConnection(cnnString)) {
    cnn.Execute("insert Foo(bar_id, name) values (@bar_id, @name)", fooList);
}

The code throws with an InvalidOperationException:

ExecuteNonQuery requires an open and available Connection.
The connection's current state is closed.

It sounds like this question, but I can't tell if there's some reason why Execute can't be doing the same logic.

My question is why, or if not, should I file a bug?

Sounds like a bug, and pretty sure it is already listed. I have a new year's resolution to clear the backlog so I should get to that soon.
