So what would it take to do this in the backend? I think the places
which would need to be touched fall into areas I either know about or am
starting to look at to implement the CASE clause.

We'd need:
  - a "named buffer" (or several) to hold the intermediate input
  - a way to pass in parameters or substitution arguments
  - a way to decide if previous parser/planner/executor
    results can be reused

What else?
