Thank you for this enlightening explanation!  I was, however, very
confused from this specific bit, so I tested it and indeed there must
have been a typo:

postgres=# SELECT x, sum(i), sum(sum(i)) OVER (PARTITION BY x) FROM
(VALUES ('a', 1), ('a', 2), ('b', 3)) val (x,i) GROUP BY x;
 x | sum | sum
---+-----+-----
 a |   3 |   3
 b |   3 |   3
(2 rows)
