Strictly Enforcing Query Plan Stability

I have a wishlist feature I would love Oracle to support. In fact I'm surprised Oracle doesn't support it already. Perhaps there's a trick to accomplish what I want and I just don't know it?

What I would like is to be able to set privileges such that my application cannot run _any_ query that doesn't have an outline already stored for it. Essentially what I want is to be able to guarantee that no code could possibly go live without _every_ SQL query being analyzed and the plan approved by a DBA. Any unapproved query should immediately get an error, not be run with some ad hoc query plan that could very well bring the whole application down.

It seems to me that anything less is simply inadequate for a production mission critical system. Given the types of applications that run on Oracle I'm surprised this isn't a fundamental feature of the system since day 1.
