Thanks for updating the patch!

auto_explain can log the plan of even nested statement
if auto_explain.log_nested_statements is enabled.
But ISTM that pg_log_current_plan() cannot log that plan.
Is this intentional?
I think that it's better to make pg_log_current_plan() log
the plan of even nested statement.


+	es->format = EXPLAIN_FORMAT_TEXT;
+	es->settings = true;

Since pg_log_current_plan() is usually used to investigate and
trouble-shoot the long running queries, IMO it's better to
enable es->verbose by default and get additional information
about the queries. Thought?


+ * pg_log_current_plan
+ *		Signal a backend process to log plan the of running query.

"plan the of" is typo?


+ * Only superusers are allowed to signal to log plan because any users to

"because any users" should be "because allowing any users"
like the comment for pg_log_backend_memory_contexts()?


+ * All the actual work is deferred to ProcessLogExplainInterrupt(),

"ProcessLogExplainInterrupt()" should be "ProcessLogCurrentPlanInterrupt()"?
