I agree this is worth mentioning in the doc.
In any case here some review from me:
We definitely want this feature, I wished to have this info many times.
The patch has couple of issues though:
The 1.2 to 1.3 upgrade file is named pg_stat_statements--1.2-1.3.sql and
should be renamed to pg_stat_statements--1.2--1.3.sql (two dashes).
There is new sqrtd function for fast sqrt calculation, which I think is
a good idea as it will reduce the overhead of the additional calculation
and this is not something where little loss of precision would matter
too much. The problem is that the new function is actually not used
anywhere in the code, I only see use of plain sqrt.
