I wouldn't like a command output controlled by GUC. EXPLAIN is used a
lot in bug/performance reports. I'm predicting users that will have
trouble while using EXPLAIN if someone change the suggested GUC. It also
breaks clients/applications that parse EXPLAIN. I don't want another
bytea_output. However, if someone wants to suggest turning on/off some
option defaults, I'm all ears.
