It sounds like it needs a pair of system GTTs to hold the table and
column statistics for other GTTs. One would probably have the same
columns as pg_statistic, and the other just the relevant columns from
pg_class. I can see it being useful for the user to be able to see
these stats, so perhaps they could be UNIONed into the existing stats
view.
