Right now we have a single table on http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-STATS-VIEWS that lists all our statistics views. It makes for difficult to parse descriptions like "One row only, showing cluster-wide statistics from the background writer: number of scheduled checkpoints, requested checkpoints, buffers written by checkpoints and cleaning scans, and the number of times the background writer stopped a cleaning scan because it had written too many buffers. Also includes statistics about the shared buffer pool, including buffers written by backends (that is, not by the background writer), how many times those backends had to execute their own fsync calls (normally the background writer handles those even when the backend does its own write), total buffers allocated, and time of last statistics reset."
I'd like to turn that into one table for each view, with two columns, one being the name the other one being the description. That'll also make it possible to expand on the descriptions without making it completley unreadable, should we want to.
