Yes, that's the weak part of the proposal. I even thought about
renaming it to "GROUP BY SOMEHOW" or even "GROUP BY SURPRISE ME".
I mean I see some cases when it's useful and much less cases when it's
dangerously ambiguous. E.g. grouping by result of a subquery looks way
too complex and unpredictable. But with simple Vars... what could go
wrong?
