The flip-side is that we could have made an awful lot of built-in
things extensions, but for whatever reason chose not to. I'm not
necessarily in favor of putting pgstattuple in core, but the question
should be asked: Why should we do this here? In what way is
pgstattuple like or not like the other things that are in core?
