As stats runs much faster with an index as it enables multithreading, when --cache-threshold is negative, it enables autoindex creation when the input's size is greater than the absolute value of the --cache-threshold argument in bytes.
However, some users may not want the index file to hang around after computing stats, so when the --cache-threshold negative arg ends with a 5, stats now also auto-deletes the index file it auto-created.
