I'd like to echo this thanks to you all.

While looking to add support for SERIALIZE in an explain visualisation tool
I work on, I realised there isn't yet an equivalent auto_explain parameter
for SERIALIZE. I'm not sure if this is a deliberate omission (perhaps for a
similar reason planning time is not included in auto_explain?), but I
didn't see it mentioned above, so I thought best to ask in case not.

Thanks again,
Michael
