I've committed the core-backend parts of this, just to get them out of
the way.  Have yet to look at the pg_stat_statements code itself.

I ended up choosing not to apply that bit.  I remain of the opinion that
this behavior is fundamentally inconsistent with the general rules for
assigning parse locations to analyzed constructs, and I see no reason to
propagate that inconsistency further than we absolutely have to.
