As I mentioned in [1], this patch breaks the current assumption that
INSTRUMENT_ALL will lead to statement-level metrics that are generally useful.
According to the benchmark, the proposed patch would add a 1.5% overhead for
pg_stat_statements or any other similar extension that relies on INSTRUMENT_ALL
for no additional information, and I don't think it's acceptable.
I'm still not sure of what is the best way to fix that, but clearly something
has to be done, ideally without requiring every single pg_stat_statements-like
extension to be modified.
