[DB-SIG] Improved support for prepared SQL statements

Can the prepare() method return a handle for a SQL statement?

Will prepared SQL statements be mapped to a specific class hierarchy
in Python?

How should the application programming interface look like
in Python for this use case?

Are there more software improvements in a waiting queue?
