create view foo as select avg(x), avg(y) from bar;
causes:
ERROR:  attribute 'avg' duplicated

select avg(x), avg(y) from bar;
does not.

The same happens for:
create view foo as select bar.list, baz.list from bar, baz;

Adding support, I guess. I got the two examples from a book and they were supposed to work in Sybase Anywhere SQL 5.0.

PS: for PostgreSQL to compile with my configuration, I had to add manualy the nan.h header somewhere in the sources, IIRC it was postgres.h or something included from (almost) everywhere, just to be sure.
