How about SELECT SUM (case when id > 1200000 and id < 1210000 then 1 end)

That is very interesting. * All the functions should be noop for null input
Alas, not true for COUNT(*), AVG(), etc.
select avg(b), count(b), count(*) from (values (2),(null))a(b)
gives (2.0, 1, 2) for me, so AVG is in game. Sure, it won't work for count(*), but optimizer already knows which aggregates are strict and which are not, so no new information is needed.
