IIRC the main issues are the syntax of CREATE AGGREGATE and the actual
implementation in nodeAgg.c.  See previous discussions, eg
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2006-03/msg00512.php

I would really prefer to see CREATE AGGREGATE normalized to have a
syntax comparable to CREATE FUNCTION (or DROP AGGREGATE for that
matter):
        CREATE AGGREGATE aggname (typname [, ... ])  ...definition...
but it's not clear how to get there without breaking backwards
compatibility :-(
