Hmm. So the bottom line here is probably that that's not a big enough
sample to derive a realistic n_distinct value. Or maybe it is ... how
many values of "a" are there really, and what's the true distribution of
counts? Do the plan estimates get closer to reality if you set a higher
statistics target?
