Yes, that sounds like a good plan. But of course it's outside the scope of this
patch, so we can add this later on.

I didn't know that before you send this patch. Noah, did you?
Frankly, I don't like this at all. If I got it right that means a FETCH N is
essantially computed as N times FETCH 1 unless you either add a non-standard
option to the DECLARE statement or you add a command-line option to ecpg. Did I
get that right?
If so we would deliberately make ecpglib work incorrectly and remove
performance. Why is that? I'm interested in what others think, but to me that
sounds like a show-stopper.
