Hmm.  I am reading Tom's opinion that goes toward not going in this
direction for more commands, with the point to extend EXPLAIN to show 
this kind of information:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1692530.1736369905@sss.pgh.pa.us

So do we really want to do what's proposed here?  I'm +-0 about the 
VERBOSE option attached to more commands, as it is a bit harder for
clients to catch the information wanted.  So here comes my question:
how do we want to consume this information at the end from the
perspective of the client?
