I don't believe there's any intent to ever have DO used for stored
procedures.  Not only are stored procedures deserving of their own
top-level command (eg: CALL, as has been discussed before..), but I
believe they would necessairly have different enough semantics that
shoe-horning them into DO would end up breaking backwards compatibility.
