[ shrug... ]  Well, I'm willing to change the code as you suggest,
but if you're thinking that this will make EXPLAIN exactly reproduce
the plan that would be generated for a plain SELECT invoked in the
same context, you're still mistaken.  It doesn't account for the
effects of the fast-start-cursor option.  And for what you seem to
want EXPLAIN to do here, it probably shouldn't.  The whole thing
seems pretty unprincipled to me ...
