I initiallly called it like that but changed it to mirror the column
name added in pg_stat_statements for coherence sake. I prefer "planned"
but english is clearly not my strong suit and I assumed it meant that
the number of worker planned could change before execution. I just
checked in parallel.c and I don't think it's the case, could it be done
elsewhere ?
