Probably. I was dithering about whether that should be true/false/
controllable, and never got 'round to doing anything at all. One
problem is that I didn't really want to enshrine the current default
value in a bunch of pg_dump scripts, in case we decide it's too small.
So we shouldn't dump SET STATISTICS commands always.
If there were a reliable way to tell whether the attstattarget value had
actually been set by the user, or was merely a default, it'd be easier
to determine what pg_dump should do.
