Probably call it bind_portal though. So far we've aligned the meta command names with the protocol/libpq names (e.g. \parse instead of \prepare) > So, sending non-empty portal names was never supported in libpq? > It makes me think there was a good reason for that.

So yeah, addition is definitely welcome.
