What about the HAVING clause?  Currently not in, but someone here wants
to take a stab at it.

Doesn't seem that tough...loops over the tuples returned from the group
by node and checks the expression such as "x > 5" or "x = (subselect)".

The cost analysis in the optimizer could be tricky come to think of it.
If a subselect has a HAVING, would have to have a formula to determine
the selectiveness.  Hmmm...
