+1.
I have another comment: isn't it a good idea that an overloaded
version of the new function pg_log_query_plan can take the available
explain command options as a text argument? I'm not sure if it is
possible to get the stats like buffers, costs etc of a running query,
if yes, something like pg_log_query_plan(pid, 'buffers',
'costs'....);? It looks to be an overkill at first sight, but these
can be useful to know more detailed plan of the query.
Thoughts?
