I think this is good idea, but can't it also avoid PGSTAT_STAT_PERMANENT_TMPFILE along with temp files in pg_stat_tmp
All stats files should be excluded. IIRC the PGSTAT_STAT_PERMANENT_TMPFILE refers to just the global one. You want to exclude based on PGSTAT_STAT_PERMANENT_DIRECTORY (and of course based on the guc stats_temp_directory if it's in PGDATA.
