+ <structfield>plans</structfield> and <structfield>calls</structfield> aren't
+ always expected to match because planning and execution statistics are
+ updated at their respective end phase, and only for successful operations.
+ For example, if a statement is successfully planned but fails during
+ the execution phase, only its planning statistics will be updated.
+ If planning is skipped because a cached plan is used, only its execution
+ statistics will be updated.
