Re: [Review] Grouping Sets patch

Hello,

thank you, for you review. Grouping Sets is nice feature, but this
patch patch has some issues, and I don't expect commiting into 8.4. I
sent it, because it is interaction with window function's patch and
(maybe) some code should be shared - and this information should be
usefull for other developers (commiters). Actually almoust all of
planner part should be rewriten. Now GS is in separate branch than
classic GROUP BY clause. I am sure, so GROUP BY is special case of GS
- it means relativelly big changes in GROUP BY planner part. So now I
am wainting on commiting window functions - and then I'll continue.
