Yawn. So, we have not achieved the stated goal which was to get rid of
the ugly clause in the middle of the command; moreover we have gained
*yet another* clause in the middle of the command. Is this really an
improvement? We're trading this
CREATE STATISTICS s1 WITH (dependencies, ndistinct, options) ON (a, b) FROM
t1 WHERE partial-stuff;
for this:
CREATE STATISTICS s1 USING (dependencies, ndistinct) WITH (options) ON (a,
b) FROM t1 WHERE partial-stuff;
Can we decide by a show of hands, please, whether we're really on board
with this change?
