If you can name a case where that is correct, then I'll worry about
this, but offhand I don't see one.

What do you think a "less invasive" patch would be, anyway? I don't
buy that, say, having SPI_cursor_open_with_args set the flag but
SPI_cursor_open not do so is any safer. There is no difference between
the two as to what might get executed, so if there's a problem then
both would be at risk.
