As I wrote here,
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-01/msg00829.php
I think we can follow the SQL standard incrementally because we
have function overloads.

One exception is the result type of collect() aggregate function.
It returns an array for now, but will return a multiset when we
support true multiset data type.
