In any case, why are there so many parentheses ?

That's a bug in pg_get_statisticsobj_worker, probably. It shouldn't be
adding extra parentheses, on top of what deparse_expression_pretty does.
Will fix.
The extra parens are still here - is it intended ?
Ah, thanks for reminding me! I was looking at this, and the problem is
that pg_get_statisticsobj_worker only does this:
prettyFlags = PRETTYFLAG_INDENT;
Changing that to
prettyFlags = PRETTYFLAG_INDENT | PRETTYFLAG_PAREN;
fixes this (not sure we need the INDENT flag - probably not).
I'm a bit confused, though. My assumption was "PRETTYFLAG_PAREN = true"
would force the deparsing itself to add the parens, if needed, but in
reality it works the other way around.
I guess it's more complicated due to deparsing multi-level expressions,
but unfortunately, there's no comment explaining what it does.
