You could probably EXECUTE prepare and execute statements, but I don't
see the point --- this would just be an extremely tedious way of
duplicating plpgsql's normal query-plan-caching behavior.
AFAICS, the whole point of EXECUTE in plpgsql is that it doesn't take
any shortcuts, and so the answer to Josh's question can only be "don't
use EXECUTE"...
