Excellent! The simpler, the better. (um... now I see this goes to Stefan...)

I can see how this can go out of hand for multiple fields, because of the need for all the fields to be in the group-by clause. So as long as this can stay in a separate narrow cursor and then be joined to the rest, this can be fast and remain powerful.
