I looked at; git grep -E "appendStringInfo.*\\n" --
src/backend/commands/explain.c and all those results are appending
multiple options. No single option ones.

The patch looks good to me and seems worth applying to master. I feel
this should be fixed to avoid misleading future patches that add new
properties to Memoize into copying the same pattern.
