Is Compat package falling short of the expectation for making code work in both v0.6 and v0.7? Am I supposed to throw in another `@static if` block and import Statistics for v0.7?

```julia
$ julia

julia> VERSION
v"0.6.3"

julia> using Compat.Statistics

julia> mean
WARNING: both Statistics and Base export "mean"; uses of it in module Main must be qualified
ERROR: UndefVarError: mean not defined
