explain.depesz.com, paste.depesz.com – TOR announcement and some updates

I assume that you're familiar with explain.depesz.com and paste.depesz.com services.

References to these tuplestores are in the TriggerData structure.
C triggers can access the tuplestores directly, so they are usable,
but they cannot yet be referenced within a SQL statement.
