Well, I suggested to Joachim offlist that these shouldn't be listed. I
think the intent of the feature is to list the available *cursors*, not
all the available Portals. Why list Portals that cannot be directly
manipulated by the user? It would also mean that this would produce
unexpected results: "PREPARE foo AS SELECT * FROM pg_cursors; EXECUTE
foo".
