It would be really good to have access to the scan criteria as text, a
hash, or other generally manipulable data structures, as well, for
foreign data which is not SQL-based.

Finally, if you are making the scan more visible, a nice side effect of
this would be the ability to log all the scan criteria on a particular
table (whether its an FDW or not); it would help a lot with indexing.
