Yep, that can be done.

Do you mean one or both of the following?

- add a note in the aggregate doc that they correspond to
EVERY and SOME/ANY standard aggregates.

- add a note somewhere else, maybe in the doc about arrays or subqueries,
that there are also aggregates with a non standard name.
if so, where precisely should it be put?

Thanks in advance,
