/*
+ * GroupingFunc
+ *
+ * A GroupingFunc is a GROUPING(...) expression, which behaves in many ways
+ * like an aggregate function (e.g. it "belongs" to a specific query level,
+ * which might not be the one immediately containing it), but also differs in
+ * an important respect: it never evaluates its arguments, they merely
+ * designate expressions from the GROUP BY clause of the query level to which
+ * it belongs.
+ *
+ * The spec defines the evaluation of GROUPING() purely by syntactic
+ * replacement, but we make it a real expression for optimization purposes so
+ * that one Agg node can handle multiple grouping sets at once. Evaluating the
+ * result only needs the column positions to check against the grouping set
+ * being projected. However, for EXPLAIN to produce meaningful output, we have
+ * to keep the original expressions around, since expression deparse does not
+ * give us any feasible way to get at the GROUP BY clause.
+ *
+ * Also, we treat two GroupingFunc nodes as equal if they have equal arguments
+ * lists and agglevelsup, without comparing the refs and cols annotations.
+ *
+ * In raw parse output we have only the args list; parse analysis fills in the
+ * refs list, and the planner fills in the cols list.
