I seem to recollect arguing something similar, evidently to no effect.
However, "always" is a little strong, as -tabstat- will accept analytic
weights, which need not be integers.

So this is just a petty complaint more than anything,
but shouldn't
tabstat myvar, c(count mean) format
not apply the -format- option to the -count- result?
Consider:
*-----------------------*
sysuse gnp96
tabstat date, s(count min max) format c(s)
*-----------------------*
which produces
variable | N min max
-------------+------------------------------
date | 1995q3 1967q1 2002q2
--------------------------------------------
Which isn't very useful. Seems like the "count" stat
should always be formated as an integer.
