That sounds like "parsing" to me. :)

It's already been done in DBD::Pg. Naming starts at dbdpg_1 and goes to
dbdpg_2, dbdpg_3, etc. The only requirement we ask of the application
using it is that you don't prepare statements yourself named "dbdpg_x".
In most cases, the application does not worry about the naming anyway,
but simply issues an anonymous prepare request through DBIs paradigm of
one statement handle bound to a single SQL statement. DBD::Pg also does
the deallocating itself, and keeps track of the transaction status as well.
Deallocation is merely a courtesy anyway, as we don't reuse the names.
If there are flaws in the above design, I'd like to know about them,
as all of this prepare/execute stuff is rather new and undertested.
