Yeah, I'm still marginally in favour of the current syntax because it's a bit more consistent with the CREATE VIEW syntax which puts the WITH (options) clause before the query, and assuming that multi-table and partial statistics support do get added in the future, the thing that the statistics get created on is going to look more like a query. OTOH, a few people have now commented that the syntax looks weird, and not just because of the placement of the WITH clause. I don't have any better ideas, but it's not too late to change if anyone else does...
