we can use same mechanism, that is used for plpgsql polymorphic
functions - different parameters => different instances of plpgsql
function.

we can store n instances per function - probably there can be memory
issues when too much different search paths will be used - it is
optimal probably for 10 - 100 different search paths

different solution - can we specify search_path early in connection
string? Then this information can be used by connection pooler - and
we can do replan when different search_path is identified.
