No, I think #2 is just a general statement of annoyance. It'd be
great if someone finds a way to refactor things to improve that; but
seeing that window functions operate in a much different environment
than plain aggregates, I'm not holding my breath. It's certainly
not a prerequisite for any other work in the area.
