I have pushed pg_stat_statements and Explain related patches. I am
now looking into (auto)vacuum patch and have few comments.

Here, we are not displaying Buffers related data, so why do we think
it is important to display WAL data? I see some point in displaying
Buffers and WAL data in a vacuum (verbose), but I feel it is better to
make a case for both the statistics together rather than just
displaying one and leaving other. I think the other change related to
autovacuum stats seems okay to me.
