In that off-list discussion I'd mentioned to Tomas that I would still
like to work on this, just my other responsibilities at work have left
me little time to work on the most important remaining part of this
(the planner parts) since that requires a fair amount of focus and
time.

That being said, the patch also needs some more work on improving
EXPLAIN ANALYZE output (perhaps min/max/mean or median of
memory usage number of groups in each sort mode), and I think it's far
more feasible that I can tackle that piecemeal before the next CF.
