> Currently, the output of an aggregation is of the same type as the input. This restriction has to major drawbacks:
> 1. Every tuple field can only be used in one aggregation because the aggregations result is stored in the field.
> 2. Aggregations having a return type that is different from the input type, e.g., count or average, cannot be implemented.
> It would be nice to have the aggregation return any kind of tuple as a result, so the restrictions above no longer apply.
