I thought that it would be better to have it at the end as it can always be
NULL (and will be by default), which I guess was also the reason to have
leader_pid there.  I'm all in favor to have queryid near the query, and
while at it leader_pid near the pid.

They should, as I incrementally built on top of the first one.  I also just
double checked the patchset and each new commit compiles and passes the
regression tests.

Oops, I apparently messed a fixup when working on it.  Bruce, should I take
care of that of do you want to?  I think you have some local modifications
already I'd rather not miss some changes.
