 * 1. SQL result must be ordered by 1,2.
 * 2. The number of values columns depends on the tuple description
 *    of the function's declared return type.  The return type's columns
 *    must match the datatypes of the SQL query's result.  The datatype
 *    of the category column can be anything, however.
 * 3. Missing values (i.e. not enough adjacent rows of same rowid to
 *    fill the number of result values columns) are filled in with nulls.
 * 4. Extra values (i.e. too many adjacent rows of same rowid to fill
 *    the number of result values columns) are skipped.
 * 5. Rows with all nulls in the values columns are skipped.
