Fixed patch version of the path is attached.

Much of the patch and the discussion has been around the raw parsing, and guessing which literals are actually parameters that have been inlined into the SQL text. Do we really need to do that, though? The documentation mentions pgbouncer and other connection poolers, where you don't have session state, as a use case for this. But such connection poolers could and should still be using the extended query protocol, with Parse+Bind messages and query parameters, even if they don't use named prepared statements. I'd want to encourage applications and middleware to use out-of-band query parameters, to avoid SQL injection attacks, regardless of whether they use prepared statements or cache query plans. So how about dropping all the raw parse tree stuff, and doing the automatic caching of plans based on the SQL string, somewhere in the exec_parse_message? Check the autoprepare cache in exec_parse_message(), if it was an "unnamed" prepared statement, i.e. if the prepared statement name is an empty string.

(I'm actually not sure if exec_parse/bind_message is the right place for this, but I saw that your current patch did it in exec_simple_query, and exec_parse/bind_message are the equivalent of that for the extended query protocol).
