So I guess there are two issues here: (1) somehow I feel like we

$0, $1, etc. when they are PARAM_EXEC parameters;

Maybe, but the only reasonable place to put it would be within the
(SubPlan N) reference, which is not a place where verboseness would be
appreciated, I think.  In principle it could look something like

        (SubPlan N ($0 := b.oid))

but with a few parameters and a bunch of other stuff on the same line
that would get out of hand.
I'm currently digesting subplan/initplan handling and I really like Robert's idea of showing actual parameters.

postgres=# explain select oid::int + 1,(select oid from pg_class a where a.oid = b.relfilenode and a.relnamespace = b.relnamespace) from pg_class b; QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on pg_class b  (cost=0.00..2459.64 rows=296 width=12)
  SubPlan 1 ($0 := b.relfilenode, $1 := b.relnamespace)
-> Index Scan using pg_class_oid_index on pg_class a (cost=0.00..8.27 rows=1 width=4)
          Index Cond: (oid = $0)
          Filter: (relnamespace = $1)
(5 rows)

Only changes in ExplainSubPlans, all regression tests passed (which surprized me a bit, no explains with subplanes in expected results?). NB: this is not a patch to HEAD but a local version, so line numbers are off, patch supplied for discussion purposes only.

kind regards,
