the situation isn't too simply like you see it. PostgreSQL supports
composite and nested types. For this types you cannot use quote*
functions. Next problem is NULL values. I did this work four years ago
and http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-08/msg00271.php
it was rejected - from good reasons. You can see more messages from
this time in archive. In plpgsql we don't would to supply SQL parser -
so when you would to identify pleaseholders, then your implementation
will be slow or buggy.
