Unfortunately that won't work in 7.0 --- grouped views have a lot of
problems in that version, and one of the problems is that you can't
do another level of aggregating on their results.
Basically a view and a subselect are the same thing, so you can't get
around the restrictions of one by using the other...
7.1 is what Sara needs.
