I know this is not really related, but wouldn't the plan be to make
ecpg actually use the backend side "execute ..." now that it is available ?

ecpg needs eighter 'execute :idvar' or 'execute id', so either idvar is a
declared variable or id a statement id. I don't know if that is something a
parser can check though :-(

For now, I would leave "exec sql execute" do the ecpg thing if that is possible.
If you want to use the backend side functionality you would need to:
exec sql prepare ex1 from 'execute id';
exec sql execute ex1;
