The attached v0.3 includes
* a proper GUC "track_toast" incl. postgresql.conf.sample line
* gathering timing information
* the system view "pg_stat_toast"
* naming improvements more than welcome!
* columns "storagemethod" and "compressmethod" added as per Hayato
Kuroda's suggestion
* documentation (pointing out the potential impacts as per Andres
Freund's reservations)

Any hints on how to write meaningful tests would be much appreciated!
I.e., will a test

INSERTing some long text to a column raises the view counts and
"compressedsize" is smaller than "originalsize"

suffice?!?

Cheers & best regards,
