I am all for that. Ideally I would want builtin connection pooling but
short term I think the way forward is most likely tighter integration.

If someone adds prepared statement support to e.g. PgBouncer that might
be a nice feature to have. Plus maybe something like "SET
transaction_cleanup = 'except_prepared'". But right now I think the
pools which support prepared statements do not use DISCARD ALL and
instead just trust the end user to not run SET or use temporary tables
which outlive transactions.
