Another possibility is to have a two_step API, e.g. replace:
```python
table.group_by("keys", ["values"], "sum")
```
with:
```python
table.group_by("keys", ["values"]).aggregate("sum")
```
or perhaps even some shortcuts:
```python
table.group_by("keys", ["values"]).sum()
```
`Table.group_by` would return an intermediate object with several methods,
including one for doing the actual grouping ("collect"?) and other(s) to
compute aggregates.
