I really like the idea of more statistics for our repositories, but the
name 'stats' for the command is a little unfortunate: it makes

  hg stat

ambigious since 'stat' is now a prefix of 'stats' and the more important
'status' command... So I have write at least

  hg statu

I was going to suggest using the longer name 'statistics' for this
extension until I realized that 'stat' remains ambigious :-)

So would it be okay to make 'stat' an alias for 'status'? I could of
course also try to train my finger to use 'st', but I don't think it is
such a natural alias for me.

Here is a patch this adds the alias:

commands: alias status as stat
