I see you've already committed this, but I agree that it's quite a
kluge.
After looking a bit more at the existing explain code, it seems like the
critical issue is that explain.c has ExplainOpenGroup/ExplainCloseGroup
calls around the ExplainPrintPlan call (see ExplainOnePlan), while
auto_explain does not. I did not like your originally proposed patch
because it seemed to introduce yet another formatting concept into code
that has already got a few too many. But couldn't we fix this by
exporting ExplainOpenGroup/ExplainCloseGroup and then calling those from
auto_explain?
