WiredTigerStat and WiredTigerCursor in test/suite/helper.py have overlapping behavior: both are wrappers that open/close cursors. WiredTigerStat is for statistics, while WiredTigerCursor is generic but also defaults to "statistics:", which duplicates the statistics role.

Possible fixes are: keep both classes but require explicit uri in WiredTigerCursor, keep both and make WiredTigerStat delegate to WiredTigerCursor, or merge them into one cursor helper and update existing call sites.
