Thank you both for looking at it!

I'm just thinking that we could mark the new "Relation rel" parameter as a
const one. Indeed we are in a "report" function that only makes use of the
Relation as read only.

But, we can't do the same for pgstat_report_analyze() because pgstat_should_count_relation()
can modify the relation through pgstat_assoc_relation(). So I'm inclined to
let it as in v1. Thoughts?
