Indeed. However, you can prepare a statement by issuing a normal
"prepare" command. Then later you can execute this statement using
(query 'my-prepared-statement)
I re-read the docs and I agree they're worded very badly. I'll try
and improve the bit under "query".

I did add an example to row-for-each after replying to your previous
mail. Hopefully that'll help.

Yeah, the current paragraph is just mumbling about prepare but
not explaining anything.
