I confirmed that Itagaki-san and Mr Cerdic disscution. He said that raw values
be just simple. However, were his changes just simple? I cannot understand his
aesthetics sense and also you, too:-(

It's too complicated, and do you know how to tuning PG from information of
local_* and temp_*?
At least, I think that most user cannot tuning from these information, and it
might not be useful information only part of them.

No. It's not for geek tools and people having pre-packaged solution in big
company, but also for common DBA tools.
By the way, MySQL and Oracle database which are very popular have these
statistics. I think that your argument might disturb people who wants to
migration from these database and will accelerate popularity of these database more.

Could you tell me how to get min/max statistics with low cost?
I'm not sure about detail of your patch in CF, but it seems very high cost.
Repeatedly, I think that if we want to get drastic detail statistics, we have to
create another tools of statistics. Your patch will be these statistics tools.
However, pg_stat_statement sholud be just light weight.
