No, I meant wrinting such like:
Datum
some_trans_fn(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
if (fcinfo->context && IsA(fcinfo->context, WindowAggState))
elog(ERROR, "some_agg does not support window aggregate");
...
}
rather than adding column to catalog. To add flag you must add new
syntax for CREATE AGGREGATE, which is slightly more painful.
