Hm, I think I agree. The problem is where to draw the line. Ultimately
everything in the statistics tables and more could potentially be relevant.
The other problem is that currently our explain output is a bit of a hack.
It's just text we print out and we're limited in how much data we can put in
that without it being unwieldy.
When we get the table-based or xml-based or some other machine-readable
explain plan we could stuff a lot more data in there and have it be the UI's
responsibility to decide what data to display.
When that happens it would be nice to have the raw data used to generate the
cost estimations. At least the most important factors.
