Not once I encountered people who want to track only a specific number
of parameters and do not have much fun burdening themselves with all the
data set, querying a whole huge stat view to analyse performance profiles.
In another scenario, an extension needs to track a limited number of
parameters - let's say, blocks hit and blocks read. Another dimension -
sometimes we are only interested in queries that involve complex join
trees or partitioned tables and would be happy to avoid tracking all
other queries.
It seems that a callback-based or subscription-based model could be
worth exploring.
