done, as a large comment of pain.
the @?.... rune was entirely opaque to me, however. Presumably this is some way of outputting the contents of a table where EXPLAIN PLAN sticks its stuff by default?

So I see, I'll look through it :-)

"@" is just "source in this file to SQL*Plus" - @foo looks in the current directory for foo.sql and runs it.

"?" is short for $ORACLE_HOME in SQL*Plus

The rest is just a path. If you look in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin you'll find a lot of SQL scripts, utlxpls.sql is Utility Explain Plan Serial

...and looking at the utlxpls script, rather dates me. In 8i it was a big SQL query formatting a "SELECT ... FROM plan_table" - in 9iR2 and 10g it just wraps the dbms_xplan package.

Now I have this weird mental image of you being asked out by a database management system.

I really don't want to think about how databases shag.
