Why would a driver writer care?  He can use the Prepare protocol
message, which already can do the above --- and more to the point,
there's already a way for him to *find out* what types were resolved.
There is no way for the SQL-level PREPARE command to provide info
about how types were resolved, so I'm not in favor of hacking the
SQL command this way.
