Sorry for delay. I read the patch and it seems the result is sane. For
window function calls, I agree that the current tuplesort is not
enough to implement median functions and the patch introduces its own
memsort mechanism, although memsort has too much copied from
tuplesort. It looks to me not so difficult to modify the existing
tuplesort to guarantee staying in memory always if an option to do so
is specified from caller. I think that option can be used by other
cases in the core code.
