BTW, there is not any fundamental reason why we can't support aggregate
functions with multiple inputs.  I looked at this not long ago and
determined that the major stumbling blocks would be 
(1) trying to keep the code in nodeAgg.c from getting a lot more
complicated and hence slower for the single-input case;
(2) figuring out how to change the syntax for CREATE AGGREGATE.

It certainly seems doable if someone wants to spend time on it.
