How would this cooperate with e.g. EXPLAIN (...) EXECUTE
my_prepared_statement? Would this query be the prepared statement's
query, or the top-level EXECUTE statement?

Wouldn't the user be able to keep track of the query they wanted
explained by themselves? If not, why?

If we were to add the query to the explain output, I think it should
be a top-level key in the same JSON object that holds the "Plan",
Triggers, and "Execution Time" keys.
