The mechanism using EAGAIN is far from perfect, you are right, it is quite
fragile actually. But to enhance it, saying query_formats2 is not enough: it
would be necessary to tell what would go in it and how it would be used.

In other words, the current algorithm is quite good and elegant for the
simple cases, but I have no idea how to change in order to make it work for
complex cases too.
