At the risk of asking a stupid question, we already have optimizer statistics on expression indexes. In what sense are we using this for multi-variate statistics, and in what sense can't we.
We're not using that at all, because those are really orthogonal features. Even with expression indexes, the statistics are per attribute, and the attributes are treated as independent.
There was a proposal to also allow creating statistics on expressions (without having to create an index), but that's not supported yet.
