It was discussed at some length recently, check the list archives. IIRC
the consensus was to fix the server - essentially, add a mode where the
driver can tell the server "please replan this statement every time you
get new parameters", which would allow all the normal planner
optimizations (constant folding, etc) to be made since it does not need
to produce a general-purpose plan for all possible parameter values.
