   It's a version of the page statistics available without having to parse the 
individual page headers. It has the unfortunate(*) property that min and max 
are mandatory, so if either min or max are `None` (as is this case here), the 
column index should not be written (which from the test you added seems to be 
the case).
   
   (*) Unfortunate because there is other information in the column index 
beyond min and max statistics that can still be of use for page pruning. Null 
pages and level histograms among them.
