That sounds pretty hackish. You'd have to be very careful, for
example, that if the tables were dropped or re-analyzed, all of the
old entries got removed -- and then it would still fail if any code
tried to access the statistics directly from the table, rather than
via the caches. My assumption is that the statistics ought to be
stored in some backend-private data structure designed for that
purpose, and that the code that needs the data should be taught to
look for it there when the table is a GTT.
