No, we're not likely to do that, because it would mean (1) baking one
single definition of "query ID" into the core system and (2) paying
the cost to calculate that ID all the time.
pg_stat_statements has a notion of query ID, but that notion might be
quite inappropriate for other usages, which is why it's an extension
and not core.
