Agreed tha tthis should have its own thread with a proper subject.

There is much more going on here, like FunctionSetResetClause, or
AlterSystemStmt with its generic_reset.

+        foreach    (l, expr->args)
+        {
+            A_Const *ac = (A_Const *) lfirst(l);
+
+            if(ac->type != T_String)
+                RecordConstLocation(jstate, ac->location);
+        }

Even this part, I am not sure if it is always correct.  Couldn't we
have cases where String's A_Const had better be recorded as const?

I've been studying this one, and I can see why you're right here.
This feels much more natural to include.  The INOUT parameters get
registered twice at the same position, and the duplicates are
discarded by pg_stat_statements, which is OK.  The patch is straight
for the CALL part, so I have applied it.
