Quite so. But that is not the only way to (partially) skin that particular cat:

. tabstat mpg, stat(mean sd min max) f(%9.2f)

    variable |      mean        sd       min       max
-------------+----------------------------------------
         mpg |     21.30      5.79     12.00     41.00
------------------------------------------------------

Admittedly it doesn't work for confidence intervals, but it does for any statistic that tabstat can produce.
