Parametized queries & tuple issue
Hello!

We ran into some issues with the last release of the package.
I've seen that there were some changes for parametized queries that break some of our work.
It seems that we now can't execute queries with tuple parameters.

For instance, this dumb example
```
with conn.cursor() as curs:
    curs.execute("SELECT %s in %s", (1, (1,2,3)))
    for row in curs.iterate():
        print(row)
```
was running successfully until `0.10.2`, but not working with `0.10.3`. We get the following issue: `TypeError: Cannot convert <class 'tuple'> type object to an SQL string`

Sorry if this is an expected behavior of the last release :)
Have a nice day!
