Ah. But usually, the other parameter values for the same prepared
statement produce similar query plans, because they're the same use case
on similar data.

So, at least for most of the apps we're running here, the first set of
parameters makes more sense than planning without any parameters.

Maybe this behaviour should be configurable via some session
configuration variable?

And for applications that really have two very different usecases
resulting in identical prepared statements, it's affordable to either
switch the delayed planning of, or to prepare the statement twice, with
different names and different first parameter sets.

Maybe we should crosspost this to pg_hackers?
