INT_MAX
should be 1.0?

now CREATE STATISTICS, the statistics name is optional.
but here you explicitly mention the statistics kind would be great.

` error=%f` seems not that right.
Also since the documentation is limited, more comments explaining
SuggestMultiColumnStatisticsForNode would be great.
overall the comments are very little, it should be more (that's my opinion).
