Re: retrieve grouping sets/rollup rows

Why? You're already provided with this information: NULL fields are not
being used in the grouping set for the row. Moreover, it would seem to
be an implementation- and run-time- dependent value, as there is no
reason group by grouping set (a,b), (c,d) couldn't be executed in
written order, or (c,d) first depending on a lot of things.

Forcing the implementation to conform to a certain way of doing things
is asking for someone to ask why a certain optimization isn't being
performed later on.

My $0.02.
