That seems pretty unreadable. Maybe just "enable_memoization"?

Really if we're going to do something here, we can't merely mess
with the GUC name. David had expressed a willingness to rename
everything about ResultCache some time ago, but nobody stepped up
with a better name.

Maybe name the plan node type Memoize, and the GUC "enable_memoize"?
