Some kind of parameter binding or improved support for prepareable
statements would require changes to the FE/BE protocol -- being able
to accept parameters without passing them through the parser, for
example.

Allowing clients to cleanly determine the current transaction state
will require FE/BE protocol changes, I think. (Or at least, that's my
vague recollection of the discussion on -hackers from a couple months ago).

That's all I can think of -- there's probably more stuff...
