named parameters in database/sql and database/sql/driver

I'm trying to figure out what the pattern is for using named parameters in go's built-in database/sql package. I looked at the oracle driver, but it seems like just a wrapper for the C library. Have people solved this in an elegant way? So far I've just worked around the problem by putting {0}, {1} as the parameters in the unit tests, but it sure would be nice to be able to use them normally as a map[string]interface{} or something. Does anyone have an idea or an implementation that seems idiomatic?

For reference, here is a test:

db := testConn()
stmt, err := db.Prepare("return {0} as int1, {1} as int2")
if err != nil {
   t.Fatal(err)
}
rows, err := stmt.Query(123, 456)
if err != nil {
   t.Fatal(err)
}
rows.Next()

var test int
var test2 int
err = rows.Scan(&test, &test2)
if err != nil {
   t.Fatal(err)
}
if test != 123 {
   t.Fatal("test != 123;", test)
}
if test2 != 456 {
   t.Fatal("test2 != 456;", test2)
}

And what I'm doing in Query is:

func (stmt *cypherStmt) Query(args []driver.Value) (driver.Rows, error) {
   cyphReq := cypherRequest{
      Query: stmt.query,
   }
   if len(args) > 0 {
      cyphReq.Params = make(map[string]interface{})
   }
   for idx, e := range args {
      cyphReq.Params[strconv.Itoa(idx)] = e
   }
...
