You're right - I actually only realised that SetStats() exists today. I was about to remove my option, but there's one case where I'd like to do something slightly different to the default: if gStyle->SetOptStat() is 0, then even with SetStats set to true, the stats box isn't drawn.
I guess the default is a reasonable behaviour, so I just added an extra override in my code rather than suggesting a change in the default.

I took a look at THStack when I was originally writing my painter, and I think it's missing one feature I wanted, which is to draw different histograms on the same pad with different drawing styles. Is it possible to do that with THStack?

Yes, I agree that it wouldn't make sense to include this in ROOT - for one thing, it runs quite slow, and there are a couple of other minor problems. But I find it quite convenient, especially for quick macros or running interactively.
The comment about not running in interpreted mode might be outdated - I haven't checked that for a while.

Philip
