+1. It always annoys me too.

There is another improvement that we could change: EXPLAIN VERBOSE could
generate graphical output too. I understand the reason why we don't generate
it (that's because of the long text output) but in 8.4 or later that noisy
output was wiped out. It' so trivial that it is attached.

Another must-fix is to have new machine-readable formats in multiple lines on
'Data Output'. Sorry, don't have time to figure out now...
