The statistics are a very sensitive area, that imho should only be calculated on request. I already don't like the statistics that are implicitly created during create index. Eighter you have online stats keeping or you don't. For me this is a definite all or nothing issue. Anything inbetween is only good for unpleasant surprises. I have very strong feelings about this, because of bad experience. I would be willing to go into detail. A syntactic extension to copy ("with analyze") on the other hand would be a feature.
