> This is a poor man's answer to the standard analytic function row_number(); it assigns a sequence of numbers to rows, starting from 1.
> I'm calling it row_sequence() to distinguish it from the real analytic function, so that once we add support for those, there won't be any conflict with the existing UDF.
> The problem with this UDF approach is that there are no guarantees about ordering in SQL processing internals, so use with caution.
