Yeah.  The alternatives seem to be:

1. Change a lot of regression tests.  This would be a serious PITA,
not so much for the one-time cost as for every time we needed to
back-patch a regression test that includes explain output.  -1.

2. Don't display the planning time by default, necessitating a new
PLANNING_TIME ON option.  This has backwards compatibility to
recommend it, but not much else.

3. Let COSTS OFF suppress it.
