Rather, different "kinds" of statistics are related to different
operators. So, "staop2" would refer to an operator suitable/applicable
for the statistics of kind "stakind2".

For example stakind2 for some attribute could be value "3" which
refers to statistic kind "histogram". In this case, staop2 for the
same attribute could refer to operator, say, "<" because this
particular operator could benefit from histogram distribution of
values. (off course, "<" may be overloaded for different types; but
point to take from this is that any "<" uses the statistic called
histogram.)
