(1) What about preparing an unnamed statement ... will you allow
stmtName = NULL to mean that?  (Actually it might be that stmtName = ""
will cover this, I'm too lazy to check the backend code right now.)
You do need to allow access to the unnamed statement because of 
Oliver Jowett's recent efficiency hacks.

(2) What about discovering the actually resolved parameter types?
