Of these only ROLLUP can be done in one scan after sort, all others
would generally require several scans without hashing.
I just noticed that we don't even have a TODO for this. I think this

Bruce, could you add:
* Add ROLLUP, CUBE, GROUPING SETS options to GROUP BY
They are all defined in SQL99 p.79 <group by clause>
