It sounds like we're sufficiently in agreement so I've committed the
patch. I agree with you that this could be done within the per-node
hook, but that would be awkward, and this is better. I take note of
your frustration with the difficulty of getting hooks added and to
some extent I share it; on the flip side, there are plenty of
poorly-considered hook proposals, too.
I've rebased my pg_overexplain patch and attach that here.
