Should be "over w". "over (w)" is a <window specification> that
modifies an existing window, not just a reference, and in particular
that means we don't copy the framing clause; see SQL2008 7.11
general rule 1) b) i) 6).
Hmm... I think 7.11 syntax rule 10) e) actually wants us to throw an
error for this case, not just silently ignore the referenced window's
framing clause. I had thought that was just being overly anal, but now
it seems that this case can result in user confusion, so maybe we'd
better throw the error after all.
