I had a second thought about that: presumably we should make the
function type names translatable. If we do that, it might be better
to make the aggregate case be "aggregate" and take the width hit.
Otherwise translators are going to be puzzled when they come across
"agg" as a translatable phrase.

Or maybe I'm overthinking that problem. Comments from anyone who
actually does translations?

Why didn't you make it work like \d[tisv], ie allow more than one
letter? If you're going to be inventing new features at this late
date, they should at least work like the adjacent precedent.
