Rather than adding optional parameters would it make sense to add a new
create method? E.g. "@stats_create_precise".

In some ways this is easier to deal with in userspace and there's alrady
a precedent for it with @stats_print vs. @stats_print_clear.

It's not a huge deal either way though - just simplifies formatting of
the messages a little.
