On a first go-round, I don't think we should add entire views, but 
rather functions that serve specific purposes. For table bloat that 
means a function that returns what the heap size should be based on 
pg_stats. For locking, it means providing information about which PID is 
blocking which PID. After that, most everything else is just window 
dressing.
