I am biased here. This seems like a lot of code for something we've
been delegating to the explain hook for ages. Even if I can see the
appeal of pushing that more into explain.c to get more data on a
per-node basis depending on the custom options given by the caller of
an EXPLAIN entry point, I cannot get really excited about the extra
maintenance this facility would involve compared to the potential
gains, knowing that there's a hook.
