How about having the tag not be a column name but a row entry. So you'd
do something like

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_sql WHERE tag = 'ALTER VIEW';

That way, we don't have to keep updating (and re-debating) this when new
command types or subtypes are added. And queries written for future
versions will not fail when run against old servers.
