     * Handle two special cases as mandated by the SQL92 spec:
     *
     * 1. Bare ColumnName (no qualifier or subscripts)
     *    For a bare identifier, we search for a matching column name
     *    in the existing target list.  Multiple matches are an error
     *    unless they refer to identical values; for example,
     *    we allow  SELECT a, a FROM table ORDER BY a
     *    but not   SELECT a AS b, b FROM table ORDER BY b
     *    If no match is found, we fall through and treat the identifier
     *    as an expression.
     *    For GROUP BY, it is incorrect to match the grouping item against
     *    targetlist entries: according to SQL92, an identifier in GROUP BY
     *    is a reference to a column name exposed by FROM, not to a target
     *    list column.  However, many implementations (including pre-7.0
     *    PostgreSQL) accept this anyway.  So for GROUP BY, we look first
     *    to see if the identifier matches any FROM column name, and only
     *    try for a targetlist name if it doesn't.  This ensures that we
     *    adhere to the spec in the case where the name could be both.
     *    DISTINCT ON isn't in the standard, so we can do what we like there;
     *    we choose to make it work like ORDER BY, on the rather flimsy
     *    grounds that ordinary DISTINCT works on targetlist entries.
     *
     * 2. IntegerConstant
     *    This means to use the n'th item in the existing target list.
     *    Note that it would make no sense to order/group/distinct by an
     *    actual constant, so this does not create a conflict with SQL99.
     *    GROUP BY column-number is not allowed by SQL92, but since
     *    the standard has no other behavior defined for this syntax,
     *    we may as well accept this common extension.
     *
     * Note that pre-existing resjunk targets must not be used in either case,
     * since the user didn't write them in his SELECT list.
     *
     * If neither special case applies, fall through to treat the item as
     * an expression per SQL99.

 * transformGroupClause -

 * if not already present, so the targetlist must be passed by reference.
 *
 * This is also used for window PARTITION BY clauses (which act almost the
 * same, but are always interpreted per SQL99 rules).
 *
 * Grouping sets make this a lot more complex than it was. Our goal here is
 * twofold: we make a flat list of SortGroupClause nodes referencing each
 * distinct expression used for grouping, with those expressions added to the
 * targetlist if needed. At the same time, we build the groupingSets tree,
 * which stores only ressortgrouprefs as integer lists inside GroupingSet nodes
 * (possibly nested, but limited in depth: a GROUPING_SET_SETS node can contain
 * nested SIMPLE, CUBE or ROLLUP nodes, but not more sets - we flatten that
 * out; while CUBE and ROLLUP can contain only SIMPLE nodes).
 *
 * We skip much of the hard work if there are no grouping sets.
 *
 * One subtlety is that the groupClause list can end up empty while the
 * groupingSets list is not; this happens if there are only empty grouping
 * sets, or an explicit GROUP BY (). This has the same effect as specifying
 * aggregates or a HAVING clause with no GROUP BY; the output is one row per
 * grouping set even if the input is empty.
