I think the standard spelling of this feature is GROUPING SETS along
with syntactical sugar CUBE and ROLLUP. There was a patch for this
posted some time ago but it doesn't look like it has moved forward
lately.
Barring GROUPING SETS, it is very unlikely that crosstab or pivot are
going to make it into the core.
