I was very careful when I submitted the machine-readable explain patch
to make sure that the choice of which information was displayed was
independent of the format, and I think that we should stick with that.If you want we could have 'buffers terse' and
'buffersdetail' but I
 
don't think we should force JSON/XML on people who want to see that
