Great, thanks.  I played with it a bit and it looks almost done to me.
The only issue I can find is that it lets you rename an aggregate by
using ALTER FUNCTION, which is supposed to be forbidden.  (Funnily
enough, renaming a non-agg function with ALTER AGGREGATE does raise an
error).  Didn't immediately spot the right place to add a check.

I think these two error cases ought to have regression tests of their
own.

I attach a version with my changes.

Yeah, I had noticed that and was planning on implementing it later.
Thanks for saving me the work.

Right.  (I wonder if it would make sense to encapsulate all those checks
in a single function for both to call.)

Silly me.  Thanks.
