The EXPLAIN output produces something like below
explain_filter
---------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on int8_tbl i8 (cost=N.N..N.N rows=N width=N)
Planning:
Memory: used=N bytes, allocated=N bytes
(3 rows)
but function explain_filter(), defined in explain.sql, removes line
containing Planning: and we end up with output
explain_filter
---------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on int8_tbl i8 (cost=N.N..N.N rows=N width=N)
Memory: used=N bytes, allocated=N bytes
(2 rows)
Hence this weird difference.
