The problem is that it also make stats_reset useless for other purposes -
which I do consider a problem. Hence this thread. My concern would be
mollified if I there were a separate reset timestamp counting the last
"database wide" reset time. Your comment about that was something about
relation/function level timestamps, which doesn't seem relevant.

Don't think there are other functions.
