Hm.  We already have an AggStrategy (for hashed vs. grouped aggregation)
so adding AggregateMode beside it seems somewhere between confusing and
content-free.  And it's needlessly inconsistent with the spelling of the
existing enum name.  I'm not wedded to "AggPartialMode" but I think
we need some name that's a bit more specific than "AggregateMode".
Suggestions anyone?
