Is this searchable in the archives? I'm interested in ideas discussed.

This sounds like a really nice to have feature. Maybe it'd also be
possible to skip replanning between executes if the current bound values
are 'indexwise-equivalent' to the values used at previous planning, i.e.
nothing in the statistics indicates that execution cost would be (much)
different. Are there more ways to cut down on planning time? Obviously
some plannedstatement/plannerinfo structures could be kept, but maybe
it'd also be possible to plan only that part of the join tree where the
params are used in a scan/join qual.
