Hmmm, I guess my motivation for thinking it might be useful in core was
that it was similar to 'pg_locks' and 'pg_stats', i.e. exposing some
internals in a convenient queryable manner (useful for problem solving).
On the security front, I should have added a 'REVOKE ALL ...FROM PUBLIC'
on the view to at least control access (fortunately easy to add).
