I am interested in securing a review/discussion for the libpq
parameter stuff.  See:
(http://momjian.us/mhonarc/patches_hold/thrd6.html) -> PGparam.

The code is functional, tested, documented, and (unfortunately) not
very well discussed.  It's a fairly big patch with various
implementation compromises so maybe a reviewer guide is in order.  A
new version with some very minor bug fixes is coming soon.
