We discussed this originally, as I recall. Aggregate, then query is
distinct from query separately, aggregate results. I called what
you're proposing "union query". Again, as I recall the discussion,
there was more support for aggregate query than union query.

Alas, I'm too lazy just now to hunt in the archives to confirm my
memory.
