No (at least, I don't think so), but Simon's point is, in a way, that
there should be. I'm not sure if I'm remembering accurately, but I
thought the 'test' in those commands refers to that they were just
example/test programs that demonstrated how to use the xstat interfaces.
They weren't originally intended to be used as real production-ready
programs, and so aren't very robust.

I don't know if the lack of improved statistics programs should preclude
documenting them in this way, though.... they should obviously be fixed,
but in the meantime we've got what we've got.
