My understanding of the original post is that DBD::Pg is sitting atop
libpq and wants to keep doing so.  So they're going to need some
improvements to libpq to get at Parse-into-a-named-statement and
Describe Statement.  This is one of the things that didn't get done in
the 7.4 cycle, and no one seems to have got round to it later either.
But it's clearly a deficiency of libpq.
