I had been hoping to implement a general enumeration and lookup 
interface to a connection's prepared statements, but haven't had time. 
But yes, if you need this, it can be added.

The only difficulty is the name: isPrepared (or is_prepared as it would 
come out in a more standard-library-ish style) could mean both of "have 
I defined this prepared statement yet?" and "has this statement been 
prepared on the backend yet?"  I understand you need the former, and the 
name should reflect that as clearly as possible.
