It's been like that since mysql-native's original release, by the 
original author, some years ago.

I suspect the idea was a rudimentary ORM-like approach: to have the 
prepared statement params semi-permanently tied to actual variables (ie, 
"bound" to them). Ie, so you could re-exectute the same prepared 
statement with different values just by changing the values and calling 
`execPrepared` again, without calling any of the bind functions again.

I'd have to check whether or not that usage pattern currently works though.
