Actually we can solve both 1 and the first half of 2 by just using
generate_relation_name, which is less code and gives better results
(because we then schema-qualify the relation name conditionally). I
patched the other half of 2 using your approach, but I wonder if we
should have a function StatisticsIsVisible or something.

Yeah, this sounds sensible to me.
