I see your point.  How is this?

	Allow auto_explain to log query parameters used by parameterized
	statements (Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker)

	This affects queries using server-side PRAPARE/EXECUTE
	and client-side parse/bind.  Logging is controlled by
	auto_explain.log_parameter_max_length;	by default query
	parameters will be logged with no length restriction.

Sorry, I don't know the answer.
