The users will be able to define statistics with the limitation that
only a single one (the one covering the most columns referenced by the
clauses) can be used when estimating a query. Which is not perfect, but
I think it's a valuable improvement.
It might also be possible to split 0006 into smaller pieces, for example
implementing the "non-overlapping statistics" case first and then
extending it to more complicated cases. That might increase the change
of getting at least some of that into 9.6 ...
But considering it's not clear whether the initial chunks are likely to
make it into 9.6 - I kinda expect a fair amount of comments from TL
about the preceding parts, who mentioned he might look at the patch this
week. So I'm not sure splitting 0006 into smaller pieces makes sense at
this point.
