> This is a poor man's answer to the standard analytic function row_number();
> it assigns a sequence of numbers to rows, starting from 1.
> I'm calling it row_sequence() to distinguish it from the real analytic
> function, so that once we add support for those, there won't be any conflict
> with the existing UDF.
> The problem with this UDF approach is that there are no guarantees about
> ordering in SQL processing internals, so use with caution.
