Hmm ...

regression=# EXPLAIN (analyze, COSTS off, TIMING OFF) select * from tenk1;
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on tenk1 (actual rows=10000 loops=1)
Planning time: 1.075 ms
Execution time: 2.723 ms
(3 rows)

I see your point. OK, that's a use case not within the scope of the
original proposal, but it's a reasonable argument for having a SUMMARY OFF
option.
