You can already do CREATE TABLE AS ... EXECUTE.
I agree being able to use EXECUTE in more situations would be a good
thing. Patches are welcome.
I'm not sure there's a lot of value in adding support for EXECUTE in
subqueries, since you would still need to do parsing, rewriting and
planning for the rest of the query; also, the fact that the plan for the
EXECUTE has already been generated would limit the optimizer's ability
to pullup subqueries and so forth.
