Comment:

 I think it would be wise to also add some code to check the specification
 of the statistics itself; see the function check_data_specification() in
 module_spec.cc (which starts the checks for config items and commands).
 Looks like right now the actual specs for statistics are the same as those
 for config items so a new function check_statistics_item_list could
 probably be a copy of that (or it could just call that function if they
 are exactly the same). I'm worried that if we make a mistake in the specs
 for statistics it'll fail at a seemingly random point later.

 Are statistics mandatory in a spec? (i see there are a lot places where
 statistics is defined in the specfile for a module but it's just an empty
 list) Not that I have a big problem with that but if they are optional we
 probably don't need that.

 meta-question: what's the final commit there? a merge of the branch
 itself? (3225575a1d7dc447b802efe5cc15687465acbbc4)
