I imagine, auto_explain could demonstrate usage of the API by
implementing logging of current query state, triggered by a signal. Most
of necessary code is already existed there.
Of course, this option will be enabled if auto_explain loads on startup.
But, maybe it breaks main concept of the auto_explain extension?
