No, I think the patch's level of detail is better. One shouldn't expect the
two ldap_simple_bind_s() calls to have different-enough performance
characteristics to justify exposing that level of detail to the DBA.
ldap_search_s() and InitializeLDAPConnection() differ more, but the DBA mostly
just needs to know the scale of their LDAP responsiveness problem.

(Someday, it might be good to expose the file:line and/or backtrace associated
with a wait, like we do for ereport(). As a way to satisfy rare needs for
more detail, I'd prefer that over giving every pgstat_report_wait_start() a
different name.)
