This patch is about showing GUCs, not such additional internal info.
Also, you'll see the plan actually used.

I understand to your goal, and I understand so collecting some data inside can be hard or impossible.

But if you collect a data important for understanding to planner behave/decision, then some important information is inside plancache too. - and now it is not visible from user space. 

It is just my note - so not only GUC are interesting - nothing more.
