I don't think it changes anything, but as Jakub pointed out, I thinko'd the
name in the email you're responding to, it's pg_aios, not pg_stat_aios.
It shows the currently in-flight IOs, not accumulated statistics about them,
hence no _stat_.
I don't like the name either, I IIRC asked for suggestions elsewhere in the
thread, not a lot was forthcoming, so I left it at pg_aios.

I went with plural because that's what we have in other views showing the
"current" state:
- pg_cursors
- pg_file_settings
- pg_prepared_statements
- pg_prepared_xacts
- pg_replication_slots
- pg_locks
- ...
But you're right that those aren't abbreviations.
