I don't see the patch attached anywhere ...

I guess the other option is
        i = Anum_pg_statistic_staop1 - 1;        for (k = 0; k < STATISTIC_NUM_SLOTS; k++)        {
values[i++]= ObjectIdGetDatum(stats->staop[k]);        }
 

(I also tried moving the i initialization to the "for" first arg, but it
seems better this way)

Not sure what's better.
