Thanks for testing the patch. The CF status has been already set to
"ready for committer". I just changed the target version from 18 to
19.

Have you tested cases where the frame option is "RANGE" or "GROUPS"
and the frame end is "CURRENT ROW"? I am asking because in these cases
the optimization in the v14 (and v15) patches do not apply and you may
not be satisfied by the performance.
