Hmmm, good point... I haven't thought about it enough, just followed
the internal design. The window_seek() in nodeWindow.c, which is an
internal API, counts rows from 0 so the external behavior is simlar.
Nothing more :-P

Giving your comment, actually it seems to me strange that row_number()
returns 1 for the first row whereas the ntile(ve, 1) returns the
second. If there're no objections I will change it as you told.
