The cases that Alvaro was worried about were enormous values supplied
via bind parameters. We haven't heard comparable complaints about
the statement text. Also, from a security standpoint, the contents
of the statement text are way more critical than the contents of
an out-of-line parameter; you can't do SQL injection from the latter.
So I think the audience for trimming would be a lot smaller for
statement-text trimming.
