Re: New pg_dump patch, --no-stats flag, disables sending to statistics collector

I'd argue that it is generally desired (or some convenient workaround) 
but not urgently so.  I'd also argue that if we're going to have a 
--no-stats flag, it should exist for the other client ultilites as well; 
if I don't want pg_dump showing up, I probably don't want Vacuum showing 
up, or various other already-debugged maintenance routines.

I'd suggest putting this into the first patch review for 8.5.
