Comment(by nickm):

 >per-country (or geoip or entrystatistics) (all mean the same thing, and
 yes this is very confusing) seem to use the same behaviour as bridge
 statistics now. Not sure if that is intended.

 What I'm confused about is ... where did the arrays in country_t go?  Why
 did the arrays go?

 > The way we are "forgetting" geoip stats is that we re-initialize them to
 be empty when they are enabled next time.  [...] That does not look like
 fantastic design, but should probably get cleaned up in a later patch

 Hm.  I'd really like it if it were cleaned up in a patch in this branch.
 If that seems non-doable, we should open a bug targetted for
 0.2.2.x-final.  When we tell the user "forgetting X", we should really
 take pains to forget X immediately and reliably.
