Slightly tangential but to what degree is adhering to JDBC limiting our
ability to fully explore the power of the PostgreSQL database?

One example that comes to mind is that because "?" is the JDBC placeholder,
as opposed to ":var_name" in the native C library, it is (AFAICS) impossible
to write a query that uses "?" as an operator.  Dollar-Quoting issues also
come to mind.

Is it possible to have a "true PostgreSQL driver" with a "JDBC wrapper".  I
get you can access the raw implementation instead of using JDBC interfaces
but are there things being internally that could be done different if using
a layered approach?
