There have been previous proposals for a shared plan cache, which is
somewhat close to what the OP is suggesting. The trouble with the idea
is that maintenance of the cache would be a mess, and contention for it
would take a big bite out of whatever performance improvement might be
hoped for. We do already have session-local plan caching; it's unclear
that it makes sense to go further than that.
