From 31a0f1d33bccd69c76980d9cc602ad75ae696161 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Fix oversight in check_ungrouped_columns optimization that
 avoids unnecessary checks for complex grouping expressions: we cannot check
 whether the expressions are simple Vars until after we apply
 flatten_join_alias_vars, because in the case of FULL JOIN that routine can
 introduce non-Var expressions.  Per example from Joel Knight.
