Here's the patch to make "show -B --stat" work. I'll give some more
thought to whether this is a good idea and prepare a series.

One downside is that in the common case it causes us to look up each
object twice (once to get its size, and then again to load the content).
I wonder if we should have a function for "read this object, unless it's
over N bytes, in which case just tell me the size". That's weirdly
specific, but I think pretty much every user of core.bigfilethreshold
would want it.
After reading through "git grep" hits for the global variable, I
think it makes sense to have such a helper with a good name without
configurable N (just use big_file_threshold that is global).  The
user of the interface either punt on size like this caller, or
would switch to the streaming interface.
