I disagree.  True prepared statements should be the default and 
should be left the default.  That gets the most people using them, 
and brings any remaining implementation issues to the fore, so that 
they can be fixed.

So switching back to emulatated mode is BAD, BAD, BAD.

The only best solution is to fix any remaining statements so that 
they work with true prepared statements.

In the mean time, people like you can manually switch back to 
emulated mode if you need to, but that inferior situation shouldn't 
be pushed on others by default.

Once again, if that isn't supported, then they should become 
supported.  This is no excuse to default to emulated mode.
