Yes, but I'd rather wish the patch committed before that, because
otherwise I would be forced to rework the code again, after the
namespace is finally stabilized.

Agreed, I think as there is pair of spi_exec_query/spi_query, there should be
corresponding spi_exec_prepared/spi_whatever/spi_fetchrow_prepared. If I
have time, I'll look into implementing these, but again, I'd rather wait
until the patch is committed. When 8.1 is scheduled for release?
