From what I understand out of the description this ruby script uses
prepared statements, passing values as parameters, right? Unfortunately
the current version of the patch doesn't handle that, it works with
constants only [1]. The original incarnation of this feature was able to
handle that, but the implementation was considered to be not suitable --
thus, to make some progress, it was left outside.

The plan is, if everything goes fine at some point, to do a follow-up
patch to handle Params and the rest.
