Yeah, but the patch implementing this still needs more work.
Thanks for that patch. That patch has been on my study list for a long
time and it can fix the other real case I met some day ago. I spent one
day studying it again yesterday just that the result does not deserve
sharing at the current stage. As for the purpose here, if we have
extended statistics, I believe it can work well. But requiring extended
statistics for this feature does not look very reasonable to me. Do you
think we can go further in direction for the issue here? and it would
be super great that you can take a look at the commit 3 [1]. IIUC,
It can solve the issue and is pretty straightforward.
