I think over the course of the discussion we have figured out that we
would like to have cross-column correlation statistics. The precise
mathematical incarnation hasn't been determined yet, as far as I can
see. Collecting the statistics thereafter isn't that hard, but there
needs to be a way to not collect an exponential volume of statistics on
all column combinations.
