But "1" would do what you want, no?

FWIW, I'm hoping that this entire business of delaying the server-side
prepare will be obsolete as of 9.2.  There is already code committed in
HEAD that allows "prepared" statements to be re-planned for each new set
of parameter values, with a somewhat-informed choice of whether and when
to switch over to the traditional generic-plan approach.  It needs
tweaking for performance still, no doubt, but there is not going to be a
reason for the driver to do this anymore.

Obviously that's not much use for solving your immediate problem, but it
might lead you to conclude that putting a large amount of effort into
improving this mechanism would be a dead end.
