I considered the above two requirement.
Based on my research, there is no way to use PARTIAL_AGGREGATE in front of a function name without making it a reserved
word.
Instead, I can make PARTIAL_AGGREGATE an unreserved word by placing it after the FILTER clause, like avg(c1) FILTER
(WHEREc2 > 0) PARTIAL_AGGREGATE, and by marking it as an ASLABEL word like FILTER.
I attached the patch of the method.
If there are no objections, I would like to proceed with the method described above.
I'd appreciate it if anyone comment the method.
I have addressed several comments, though not all of them.

Fixed.
