Some issues here with docs:

func.sgml:28465: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: sect1
line 26479 and sect2
</sect2>
^

Also, as I remember, we already had some attempts to invent dump/restore
statistics [1,2]. They were stopped with the problem of type
verification. What if the definition of the type has changed between the
dump and restore? As I see in the code, Importing statistics you just
check the column name and don't see into the type.
