hi.
patch v4, seems still not bullet-proof.

create table t (
a int primary key,
b int generated always as (1 + 1),
c int generated always as (a),
d int generated always as (a * 10),
e int generated always as (coalesce(a, 100))
);
insert into t values (1), (2);
select a,c from t group by grouping sets (a,c) having c = 2;
a | c
---+---
2 |

we should expect
a | c
---+---
| 2
