We'll have to eat our own dog food here and go and add "buffers off" throughout our code base to make this happen.  I personally feel that we should accept a patch that does so.  The benefits to the many outweigh the one-time inconveniencing of the few.  Especially if limited to explain analyze.

I'm not against analyze = on turning buffers on by default. However, I
think it would be quite painful to fix the tests if it were on without
analyze.

I tried it to see just how extensive the changes would need to be.
It's not too bad. partition_prune.sql is the worst hit.
