Description

I noticed that Prepared Statements seem to be emulated client-side by escaping certain characters.

Any plans to fully support service-side Prepared Statements? This can be done via the binary protocol, but there's a slower SQL-based approach available for non-binary clients: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/sql-syntax-prepared-statements.html

Research direction
Examine the current prepared statement emulation in lib/protocol/Prepare.js. Research the MySQL binary protocol for prepared statements. Consider using the SQL based PREPARE/EXECUTE statements as a simpler approach. Look at comments #274 for discussion on trade offs.
