-- | A single aggregate column.

-- | Denotes an inner query.
--   For aggregation, treating sequencing as the cartesian product of queries
--   does not work well.
--   Instead, we treat the sequencing of 'aggregate' with other
--   queries as the cartesian product of the aggregated result of the query,
--   a small but important difference.
--
--   However, for this to work, the aggregate query must not depend on any
--   columns in the outer product. Therefore, we let the aggregate query be
--   parameterized over @Inner s@ if the parent query is parameterized over @s@,
--   to enforce this separation.

--   Like 'fun', this function is generally unsafe and should ONLY be used

-- | The results of a join are always nullable, as there is no guarantee that
--   all joined columns will be non-null.
--   @JoinCols a@ where @a@ is an extensible tuple is that same tuple, but in
--   the outer query and with all elements nullable.

--
-- >  JoinCols (Col (Inner s) Int :*: Col (Inner s) Text)
-- >    = Col s (Maybe Int) :*: Col s (Maybe Text)
