Yep. FWIW, I always edit these before commit, and noticed that it was
incorrect. Just took the original message for now.

Not sure that I like much the additional option embedded in the
existing command; I'd rather keep a separate command for each libpq
call, that seems cleaner. So I would be OK with your suggested
\bind_named. Fine by me to be outvoted, of course.
