I think folding them all (except flex+bison) into Planning time makes 
sense since while the sum total sum is interesting to users you would 
not want every EXPLAIN plan to be filled with timings.

If it is interesting to print them separately I suggest that is done as 
an option to EXPLAIN, and not by default.
