FWIW, DBD::Pg requires a leading colon, but strongly encourages the use of "$1"
placeholders, with "?" being an inefficient but acceptable alternative. I like
the leading colon because it visually enforces that you are using named parameters,
and is helpful when using :1, :2, etc. I wouldn't object to supporting
'no colons' either, if that's what DBI ends up recommending.
