If we really wanted to fix this, maybe the right way to think about the problem is a highly reduced character set and a pre-processor or an extension. I'm pretty OK with expecting client drivers not to be stupid and offer escape syntax for their placeholders. I was kind of astonished the jdbc spec doesn't given how hard it works to be compatible. I'd assumed the ?? was jdbc standard not a postgres extension until I looked into it. Certainly PDO needs a patch for its postgres driver if not (preferably) to support escaping at a higher level. Users can work around it by defining their own operator aliases + opclasses or using function forms. Doesn't seem worth too much drama though it sucks for usability.
