The documentation for aggregate functions states that "In any aggregate
function that takes a single argument, that argument can be preceded by the
keyword DISTINCT". My questions are: Why is DISTINCT only allowed with a
single argument in a function like GROUP_CONCAT? Can that limitation be
removed?

I'm in the situation where I need to use GROUP_CONCAT and filter out
duplicates at the same time. And the default comma separator in
GROUP_CONCAT needs to be replaced by a space. I've tried to use function
REPLACE to get rid of the comma but only to realise that the data being
concatenated also might contain one or more commas.
