I have just found out the hard way (cf commits 22864f6e0, 776a2c887)
that if one uses EXPLAIN with both ANALYZE and VERBOSE selected,
the output is not the same between force_parallel_mode = off and
force_parallel_mode = regress. This seems to me to be quite broken;
what's the point of force_parallel_mode = regress if it doesn't
produce the same output?
The reason there's a problem is that ExplainNode() will show
per-worker detail if both es->analyze and es->verbose are set,
even when the only reason there's a worker process is that
force_parallel_mode injected a supposedly-invisible Gather.
I don't see any way to fix this that doesn't involve some sort
of "action at a distance". One could imagine hiding the per-worker
detail if we're underneath a Gather that has invisible set to
true, but it's not really clear to me that that would do the
right things in a plan with multiple Gather nodes. Any thoughts
about that?
