As far as I remember, this was my proposed change in review a year ago.
I think that having a clear analogy between the extension version and the function name would be more clear than
sequentialnumbering of PGSS_V with different extension versions.
For pgss 1.4 it was fine to use PGSS_V1_3, because there were no changes in pg_stat_statements_internal.
pg_stat_statements 1.3 will call pg_stat_statements_1_3
pg_stat_statements 1.4 - 1.7 will still call pg_stat_statements_1_3. In my opinion, this is the correct naming, since
wedid not need a new function.
but pg_stat_statements 1.8 will call pg_stat_statements_1_4. It's not confusing?
Well, no strong opinion.
