The usefulness of this seems pretty dubious. You aren't going to have a bunch of random bits of code sharing a connection; it's going to be a single application that probably knows perfectly well exactly which queries it needs prepared. So I don't think the stats will pay for themselves.
Not true. Personally, I was looking for something like this, before I decided to go with stored sql procs instead.
The problem is a website that uses persistent connections.
Say we have a query that takes 350ms to get threads in a forum, and half of that is planning time. Any particular PHP process does not know if a previous process has already prepared that query or not. So I have to prepare it every time, deal with errors, etc.
However, I now use sql stored procs as basically 'cached prepared queries', so it's no longer a problem for me.
