Hi, Bruce!

vac=> \d t

Table    = t
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
|              Field               |              Type                | Length|
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| v                                | varchar()                        |    80 |
| i                                | int4                             |     4 |
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
vac=> explain select sum(2+i) from t where 1 > 0;
ERROR:  replace_result_clause: Can not handle this tlist!

"where 1 > 0" is also handled by Result node -> something still unfixed here
(in optimizer). Will you fix this ?

I have decided the whole qry_aggs is bad. It is bad becuase it makes
multiple copies of Aggreg, and both copies must be processed by any
changes by rewrite and optimizer. I am removing the field
Query->qry_aggs, and replacing it with a function that will called when
creating the Agg which spins through the Plan target list and returns a
linked list of Agg*. Much cleaner, and I can remove much of the special
qry_aggs handling I added to get other Agg stuff to work.

Also, this relates to the SubLink change. I am now going to recommend
not having a separate Sublink pointer list field in Query, but adding a
function that will return a list of valid Sublink entries in from
qry->qual, or maybe even qry->targetlist.

Agreed. This will also simplify readfuncs.c
