How about adding a new hook to control instrumentation of queries in
ExecutorStart? Something like:

typedef bool (*ExecutorDoInstrument_hook_type) (QueryDesc *queryDesc, int eflags);

extern PGDLLIMPORT ExecutorDoInstrument_hook_type ExecutorDoInstrument_hook;

I think that would allow your module code to be simplified,
and it would allow other future extensions to hook in and
enable instrumentation before queries are run.

Regards, Dean.
