If foo.id is a primary key, it knows that the "group by" doesn't really
merge any rows of foo, so it lets you get away with that. I think this
is actually required by spec, but am too lazy to go check right now.
If foo.id isn't a primary key, then I'm confused too. Can we see the
full declaration of the table?
