Counter-examples: pg_stat_statements, pg_stat_subscription_stats. Our names
are not consistent. :) It just feels a better fit to have a plural name for
a table tracking aggregates of multiple types of objects.

buried in the pg_stat_reset_shared section is not intuitive for people
looking up the view in the docs.

No, but I did not give it any particularly heavy testing. More of a idle
