Picking this up...

I tend to agree with Matthias' earlier point about avoiding code
duplication in the grammar. Without going off and refactoring other
parts of the grammar not related to this patch, it's still a slightly
smaller, simpler change, and less code duplication, to do this using a
new opt_stats_name production in the grammar, as in the attached.

I also noticed a comment in CreateStatistics() that needed updating.

Barring any further comments, I'll push this shortly.
