Both of the extensions are getting loaded via pg_stat_statements and
both can have pg_init functions which work together to come up with the
right answer, no?

That is- can't pg_stat_statements, when it's loaded, enable
compute_query_id if it's not already enabled, and then the pg_queryid
module simply disable it when it gets loaded in it's pg_init()?  Telling
people who are using pg_queryid to have it loaded *after*
pg_stat_statements certainly seems reasonable to me, but if folks don't
like that then maybe have a tri-state which is 'auto', 'on', and 'off',
where pg_stat_statements would set it to 'on' if it's set to 'auto', but
not do anything if it starts as 'off'.  pg_queryid would then set it to
'off' when it's loaded and it wouldn't matter if it's loaded before or
after.

Thanks,

Stephen
