Hackers,

I've run into a couple of occasions lately where I really wanted
pgstattuple on a production server in order to check table/index bloat.However, in the production environment at a
largesite installing a
 
contrib module can involve a process which takes days or weeks.

Is there some reason why the stattuple functions aren't just available
as core functions?  Are they unsafe somehow?
