The bit about auto_explain and query parameters says:

This is wrong, the logging applies to all query parameters, not just for
prepared statements (and has nothing to do with controlling the
execution thereof).  That was just the only way to test it when it was
written, because psql's \bind command exist yet then.

Should we perhaps add some tests for that, like the attached?
