Comment:

 I'm of the opinion that here we've gone as far as we can.

 We can reinvent the wheel and make yet another prepare() method, or we can
 simply accept that with the PHP versions we support, what we have works
 acceptably as long as people understand how to use it.

 In the future when we support MySQLi or PDO or some other form of
 technology, then it will make sense to create a new ticket for that then.
 In the meantime, if someone wants to re-invent a wheel, they may do so by
 overriding the wpdb class through WP_CONTENT_DIR/db.php
