Or are they documented somewhere in that filing cabinette down some broken
steps in a flooded basement, behind a door labeled "Beware of Tigers"

You can find links to the official NTP documentation along with other
information here: http://www.ntp.org/documentation.html

The official NTP docs are in html format only.

And impossible to wade through. Could you tell me where the statistics and
the peerstats directives are actually discussed? Trying to look at those
docs gives me no hint.

Ie, what is needed is like in the man page-- a list of the config variables
and options with a brief description.
