Maybe it would work to have one extra boolean in struct Command, indicating
that the i-th command in the script is inside a pipeline; in -M
prepared, issue PREPARE for each command marked with that flag ahead of
time, and for all other commands, do as today. That way, we don't
change behavior for anything except those commands that need the change.
