The problem is that it may impact existing tools that do explain
output deparsing. One of them is https://explain.depesz.com/ that
Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski has implemented, and it would be sad to
break anything related to it.
I am adding Hubert in CC for comments about changing this
"shared/local" to "shared" on a released branch. Knowing that
"shared" and "local" will need to be handled as separate terms in 17~
anyway, perhaps that's not a big deal, but let's be sure.
