Per-table level?  Some of the problems that have been put forward have
to do with table combinations (for example selectivity of joins), so not
all problems will be solved with a per-table design.

I think if it were per table, you could get away with storing stuff in
pg_statistics or some such.  But how do you express statistics for
joins?  How do you express cross-column correlation?
