It took me a couple of days to get back to it, but attached is what I
have finished with. This was mostly OK, except for a few things:
- \close was inconsistent with the other two commands, where no
argument was treated as the unnamed prepared statement. I think that
this should be made consistent with \parse and \bindx, requiring an
argument, where '' is the unnamed statement.
- The docs did not mention the case of the unnamed statement, so added
some notes about that.
- Some free() calls were not needed in the command executions, where
psql_scan_slash_option() returns NULL.
- Tests missing when no argument is provided for the new commands.
One last thing I have found really confusing is that this leads to the
addition of two more status flags in pset for the close and parse
parts, with \bind and \bindx sharing the third one while deciding
which path to use depending on if the statement name is provided.
That's fragile. I think that it would be much cleaner to put all that
behind an enum, falling back to PQsendQuery() by default. I am
attaching that as 0002, for clarity, but my plan is to merge both 0001
and 0002 together.
