I generally agree with Peter: string_agg makes sense here.  The only
real argument against it is Pavel's point that he didn't include a
delimiter parameter, but that just begs the question why not.  It
seems at least plausible that there would be use-cases for it.

So I think we should try to make this as much like the text case as
possible.
