Well, it is a bit misleading to have the query_string stuff be named
"stats" when it's not actually collected by pgstats at all. Maybe
rename it to "collect_query_string". With the other name being
"collect_stats", they would show up together in SHOW ALL.
I am not sure about using plural/singular though: why isn't it
"stats_query_strings" instead? (We do have "log_connections" etc).
