Can we forcibly discard it if *any* messages are received that might
invalidate a plan? So basically it would work fine unless anyone in the system
does any DDL at all? I guess that has the downside of introducing random
unpredictable failures.

Or stash the query string and replan it (possibly in the query cache this
time) if someone executes it a second time?

Can't say I like either of those options much, just trying to brainstorm.
