Review Comment:
   Good point @namrathamyske , I was a bit short sighted we actually do want to 
leverage the statistics for the specific snapshot for writes. These statistics 
would be used during the scan itself (for example MERGE INTO branch) . So 
either we 1.) seek a good way to differentiate between a time travel query 
where the write shouldn't be able to be applied and an intentional write on a 
branch or 2.) we just relax the check that a snapshot is set as you did 
earlier.
