The background is I hacked exec_bind_message[1], then I want to add some test cases to make sure the logic can be tested automatically in the core system. I can't distinguish if the logic might be so straight or not so it doesn't deserve the test in practice. psql has no ability to issue extended queries AFAIR, so the normal > regression test scripts can't exercise this.

So the issue is not so blocking. but what I am working on[1] is still challenging for me:( [1] https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAKU4AWqvwmo=nlpga_ohxb4f+u4ts1_3yry9m6xtjlt9dkh...@mail.gmail.com -- Best Regards Andy Fan
