do $$
declare
        param_unused text := repeat('a', 100 * 1024 * 1024);
        param_used oid := 403;
begin
        perform count(*) from pg_am where oid = param_used;
end
$$;

I expect that if you were to inspect the EstimateParamListSpace() return
values when executing that, you would find that it serializes the irrelevant
100 MiB datum.  No possible logic in plpgsql_param_fetch() could stop that
from happening, because copyParamList() and SerializeParamList() call the
paramFetch hook only for dynamic parameters.  Cursors faced the same problem,
which is the raison d'ĂȘtre for setup_unshared_param_list().
