Well, I'm with Robert in that I've not found the buffer counts to be
all that useful most of the time. I grant that they're sometimes
useful, but that's not enough to justify them being on by default:
EXPLAIN output is cluttered enough already. And I'm also not
thrilled with changing longstanding behavior, but that's a
relatively minor point in this case.
