Re: Improved support for prepared SQL statements

As I said before, prepared statement is normally bound to connection.
So `.prepare()` method should be connection's method, not cursor's.

prepared = conn.prepare("SELECT ?+?")
...
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute(prepared, (1, 2))
cur.fetchone()  # returns (3,)

Databases don’t store “application objects”, they store rows.  So there has to be “ORM” in there.

If you would like a very mature and well proven SQL abstraction layer that does not provide any design directions whatsoever (not to mention much better performance than the ORM), please consider SQLAlchemy Core: http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/core/index.html.
