I agree with you on that. Then again i've never run out of

Please no! The -vvvvvvvvvvv is bad enough, don't turn stats
into the same abominat^Wawkwardness.
I have mentioned before that i would like to see selectable
logging. Stats would fit into such a framework. At the moment
we have three statistical summaries. It should be possible
to select them individually.
