stats: Method stats source

This source for stats binds an object and a method / function from the object
to a stats object. This allows pulling out stats from object methods without
needing to go through a global, or static shim.

Syntax is somewhat unpleasant, but the templates and method pointer type
specification were quite tricky.  Interface is very clean though; and similar
to .functor
