Or instead of letting users give the distribution, gather it
automatically in some plan statistics catalog? I suspect in most
applications queries stay the same for months and maybe years, so after
some number of iterations it is possible to have decent call statistics
/ parameter distributions. Maybe the the parameter value distribution
could even be annotated with actual cached plans.
