What's the next step here?

The feature sounds useful to me. If the grammar is unacceptable, does
someone have an alternative idea, like using new function names instead
of grammar? If so, what are reasonable names to use?

Also, I think someone mentioned this already, but what about
first_value() and last_value()? Shouldn't we do those at the same time?
