Just recently I noticed an overlooked patch that implements this:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-jdbc/2006-07/msg00011.php

The suggested patch isn't quite right, but its approach can work in many
cases.  If functions are not overloaded then a simple lookup of parameter
names by the function name would work.  If the function is overloaded we
might be able to use the parameter type given by setXXX to try and
determine what function we're actually calling, but it's probably better
to just error out in that case.
