Alias.aliasname is not qualified, so it means that we'd begin to
assign the same query ID even if using two relations from two schemas
depending on what search_path assigns, no? Say:
create schema popo1;
create schema popo2;
create table popo1.aa (a int, b int);
create table popo2.aa (a int, b int);
set search_path = 'popo1';
select count(*) from aa;
set search_path = 'popo2';
select count(*) from aa;
=# select query, calls from pg_stat_statements where
query ~ 'select count';
query | calls
-------------------------+-------
select count(*) from aa | 2
(1 row)
Perhaps that's OK because such queries use the same query string, but
just silencing the relid means that we'd lose the namespace reference
entirely, making the stats potentially fuzzier depending on the
workload. On HEAD, one can guess the query ID with an EXPLAIN and a
search_path, as well, so currently it's possible to cross-check the
contents of pgss. But we'd lose this possibility here..
