Step right up ;-)

I think the code changes would be minimal, the hard part is agreeing on
desirable behavior. From the point of view of "logging what actually
happened", logging at Execute would make sense; but as Oliver noted in
the above thread, that would lose the ability to log statements with
parse errors, which is not good either. And what about being able to
see the actual parameters sent in Bind?
Also it would be good to think about a saner behavior for logging
statements executed via SPI (ie plpgsql functions) --- we've been living
with essentially these same problems for years there, and no one's very
happy about it.
