Docs unclear about mariasql driver for mariadb/mysql dialect

The ‘Getting started’ part of the docs mention the use of ‘mariasql’, but I’m not able to get it working. In my project I have installed both the sequelize and mariasql modules, but trying to create a new Sequelize instance using any of mariadb, mysql or mariasql just fails telling me to ‘install the mysql package manually’. Is there anything extra I need to do to get mariasql to work?

The code I (tried) to use is:

var Sequelize   = require('sequelize');

//var sequelize = new Sequelize('mariadb://test:foo@localhost/test');
//var sequelize = new Sequelize('mariasql://test:foo@localhost/test');
var sequelize = new Sequelize('mysql://test:foo@localhost/test');

our mariadb support uses the mysql dialect codebase completely so you still need to install the mysql driver, i agree that could be explained way better in the docs.
