I tried to create another version of the regression test (0003).
"\dX" was added after ANALYZE command or SELECT... from pg_statistic_ext.

Please find the attached file:
   - 0003-Add-regression-test-of-dX-to-stats_ext.sql-another-ver

Both regression tests 0002 and 0003 are okay for me, I think.
Could you choose one?
