What I was trying to say is this: There is one "prepared statement"
facility in the standards that allows you to prepare a statement defined
in a host variable, whereas you are proposing one that specifies the
statement explicitly.  However, both of these are variants of the same
concept, so the EXECUTE command doesn't need to be different.
