Well, I think for the driver or application, to recognize queries as their
own, it seems much easier if the query is given exaclty as it was sent. I.e.
even including PREPARE -- if it sent this way. I am not sure of the latter,
but I would prefer to be given the original query string, PREPARE stripped
or not.
This comment is based on my assumption -- hopefully correct -- that the
querytree has indeed changed from the original query. E.g. removed redundant
parenthesis, added casts, etc.
