Review Comment:
Sure, good question. So the answer is that with SQL pipe semantics, the
AGGREGATE operator's output attribute list comprises all the grouping
expressions first (in order), then all the aggregate functions next (in order).
This is the specification from the original research paper [1].
The idea is that the list of expressions after the AGGREGATE keyword do not
need to include any of the grouping keys; they may only comprise aggregate
function calls. Then following operators can refer to the grouping keys and/or
aggregate functions as needed, including just `|> SELECT`ing a subset. For this
reason, the grouping keys must support aliases because otherwise there is no
other way to refer to them.
So this example:
```
| AGGREGATE max(i) GROUP BY j + 1 as i
```
would be equivalent to this using classic SQL:
```
SELECT j + 1 as i, max(i) FROM t
GROUP BY j + 1
```
