Silly me, obviously that's stdin. Oddly, I can stat -w -- but I can't just
stat --.

Anyway... rather than go to the trouble of enhancing stat at this time, I'm
just going to use a shell script, something like:

fields=$1
shift
for f in $*
do
    echo $f: `stat $f $fields`
done

The fields vs files issue is solved by making fields a single paramter:
stats "field1 field2 field3" file1 file2 file3
