I just realize we kind of use metrics and statistics sort of interchangeably which now bothers me, but maybe it's fine.

Agreed. We could consolidate the wording into “stats / statistics” throughout the documentation, given that SLOT-STATS is the chosen name for the command.

The command name is the title of the page, so it doesn't need to be here.

`CLUSTER SLOT-STATS` returns an array of slot usage statistics for slots assigned to the current shard.
Returns an array of slot usage statistics for slots assigned to the current shard.

The command is suitable for Valkey Cluster users aiming to assess general slot usage trends, identify hot / cold slots, migrate slots for a balanced cluster workload, and / or re-write application logic to better utilize slots.

The following statistics are supported:
* `key-count` - Number of keys residing in a given slot.
* `cpu-usec` - Amount of cpu time (in micro-seconds) spent on a given slot.
* `network-bytes-in` - Amount of network ingress (in bytes) received for given slot.
* `network-bytes-out` - Amount of network egress (in bytes) sent out for given slot.

## Supported filtering and ordering arguments
There exist two mutually exclusive arguments for controlling the output, namely;

### SLOTSRANGE
Returns slot statistics based on the slots range provided. The range is inclusive.
The `SLOTSRANGE` argument allows for request pagination.
The response is ordered in ascending slot number.

The syntax is also inserted automatically above this text, from the JSON file. We should document the options. If they're mutually exclusive, the syntax will display this as < SLOTRANGE xxxx | ORDERBY yyy > so I don't think we need to mention that.

Level 5 heading under a level 3 heading?

So many levels are not easy to distinguish. The fontsizes will not be different enough. Not to mention the man pages. I think we should not use more than 3 levels.

Let's add an ## Examples heading and move the examples as level 3 headings under that?

I would like to loosely follow the order within the page that's normal for man pages, as described under "Sections within a manual page" on the man-pages.7 man page: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/man-pages.7.html

```
> CLUSTER SLOT-STATS SLOTSRANGE 0 1
1) 1) (integer) 0
2) 1) "key-count"
2) (integer) 0
3) "cpu-usec"
4) (integer) 0
5) "network-bytes-in"
6) (integer) 0
7) "network-bytes-out"
8) (integer) 0
2) 1) (integer) 1
2) 1) "key-count"
2) (integer) 0
3) "cpu-usec"
4) (integer) 0
5) "network-bytes-in"
6) (integer) 0
7) "network-bytes-out"
8) (integer) 0
```

```

### ORDERBY
The `ORDERBY` argument returns an ordered slot statistics based on the specified statistic and sub-arguments to identify hot / cold slots across the cluster. In the event of a tie in the stats, ascending slot number is used as a tie breaker.
