/*
 * Import statistics for a given relation attribute.
 *
 * Inserts or replaces a row in pg_statistic for the given relation and

 * columns in the view pg_stats.
 *
 * Parameters are given in a pseudo named-attribute style: they must be
 * pairs of parameter names (as text) and values (of appropriate types).
 * We do that, rather than using regular named-parameter notation, so
 * that we can add or change parameters without fear of breaking
 * carelessly-written calls.
 *
 * Parameters null_frac, avg_width, and n_distinct all correspond to NOT NULL
 * columns in pg_statistic. The remaining parameters all belong to a specific
 * stakind. Some stakinds require multiple parameters, which must be specified
 * together (or neither specified).
 *
 * Parameters are only superficially validated. Omitting a parameter or
 * passing NULL leaves the statistic unchanged.
 *
 * Parameters corresponding to ANYARRAY columns are instead passed in as text
 * values, which is a valid input string for an array of the type or element
 * type of the attribute. Any error generated by the array_in() function will
 * in turn fail the function.
