​Actually, 66.1 exists ​- Row Estimation Examples

We should create 66.2 - e.g. Statistics of Parameterized Plans
​
My point was 66. How the Planner Uses Statistics doesn't have a table of
contents. I suspect it will if we add 66.2. But, should it have one now,
when the only section is 66.1?

The wording improvement are good; but my recommended split between the SQL
command section and 66.2 still applies.
