Here's another updated patch, including all your bug fixes.
There's two known issues:
- ranking functions still don't treat peer rows correctly.
- I commented out the "this function requires ORDER BY clause in the
window" test in rank_up, because a window function shouldn't be poking
into the WindowState struct like that. I wonder if it's really needed?
In section 7.11, the SQL2008 spec says "if WD has no window ordering
clause, then the window ordering is implementation-dependent, and *all
rows are peers*". The regression test now fails because of this, but the
current behavior actually seems correct to me.
