We could instead add a view of this information to core --
pg_stat_autovacuum, or whatever.
But to be honest, I'm more in favor of Guillaume's proposal. I will
repeat my recent assertion that we -- you in particular -- are too
reluctant to expose internal data structures to authors of C
extensions, and that this is developer-hostile.
