Review Comment:
   I wonder if it is worth considering representing the grouping sets in a more 
specific way (like maybe a specific list on `LogicalPlan::Aggregrate`) rather 
than an `Expr` that can appear anywhere
   
   
   
   ```rust
   enum GroupingExpr {
     Expr(Expr),
     GroupingSet(GroupingSet),
   }
   
   /// Aggregates its input based on a set of grouping and aggregate
   /// expressions (e.g. SUM).
   #[derive(Clone)]
   pub struct Aggregate {
       /// The incoming logical plan
       pub input: Arc<LogicalPlan>,
       /// Grouping expressions
       pub group_expr: Vec<AggExprs>,
       /// Aggregate expressions
       pub aggr_expr: Vec<Expr>,
       /// The schema description of the aggregate output
       pub schema: DFSchemaRef,
   }
   ```
   
   Or something?

Review Comment:
   While reviewing this PR I was wondering how you aim to plan these queries
   
   it seems like a simple way would be to expand them to a set of `UNION ALL` 
queries, though then we will likely do the same input query many times which 
may be unideal. 
   
   Anyhow, I am looking forward to the next installment
