It looks like you are right, Tom. There actually exists full
correlation between memberid, groupid and disabled.

rt4=# SELECT stxname, stxkeys, stxdependencies FROM pg_statistic_ext;
 stxname  | stxkeys |   stxdependencies    
-----------+---------+----------------------
 cgm_stat2 | 2 6     | {"2
=> 6": 1.000000}
 cgm_stat1 | 3 6     | {"3 => 6": 1.000000}
(2 rows)

However, this does not help the planner. It still picks the bad plan.
