Please see the thread on hackers. Yes, it is a new feature but that
part is small, the bigger impact is that this patch fixing a
prepare/execute implementation that was completely broken. By adding
new features here and there we managed to create an implementation that
did work well in some areas but surprisingly (unless you know the
source code) failed with minor change to the underlying statement.

That's why I committed it despite being late in the cycle. And because
it only has an impact on an interface not the backend itself.

Of course, if the consensus is to revert the patch until v13 I will
accept that.

What's wrong? I fixed the original one to stop my gcc from complaining,
but maybe I missed a piece.
