Ah, sorry, what I should have said is that the SQL PREPARE command
works with the same namespace as PQprepare (which is a thin wrapper
over the wire-protocol Parse command). There is a different namespace
for cursors. Cursors do share that namespace with the wire-protocol
"portal" concept, but libpq doesn't directly expose portals.
