starting from the point I'm using postgresql (v. 9.3) I was thinking
about introducing a new method to the class Expression in dal defined as
follows:

def array_agg(self):
    db = self.db
    return Expression(db, db._adapter.AGGREGATE, self, 'array_agg',
self.type)

and get the first argument of the returned list.

maybe this method can be introduced in the dal code but for the moment
Is there a way to locally "monkey patch" the Expression class for my
application?

thank you
Cheers
