Right.

Hmm.  I don't think that this is ambitious enough, we also missing
tests for error cases related to the following pieces for
pg_clear_attribute_stats():
- System columns defined, should be rejected.
- Missing relation or namespace.
- Missing column.
- Perhaps sequence and view case rejection?
- Something with inherited = true?

Could you expand the patch to do more of this stuff, please?
