Hi All,

It's correct that the hardware statistics are quite immutable - per
tablespace. This suggests to me that the GUC should be default value only and
then overridable per tablespace. It's quite normal to have primary (current
data) and secondary (historical data) storage for larger databases.
This can also fit nicely into the pg_tmp storage if tie support for multiple
tmp folders together with tablespaces.

This would also be very cool - currently the planner can really get annoyed
when joining SRF functions with tables.
