Yeah, I agree --- a version number is the wrong way to think about this.
It's gonna be more like algorithm foo versus algorithm bar versus
algorithm baz, where each one is better for a specific set of use-cases.
Julien already noted the point about hashing object OIDs versus object
names; one can easily imagine disagreeing with pg_stat_statement's
choices about ignoring values of constants; other properties of statements
might be irrelevant for some use-cases; and so on.

I'm okay with moving pg_stat_statement's existing algorithm into core as
long as there's a way for extensions to override it.  With proper design,
that would allow extensions that do override it to coexist with
pg_stat_statements (thereby redefining the latter's idea of which
statements are "the same"), which is something that doesn't really work
nicely today.
