Yes, the code above may overflow; in debug builds, the assertion would fail.

I've also considered similar solutions. But I'm not very familiar
with the window function
internal codes, so not sure it's the right fix.

v2 seems to cover all cases. WFM.

In window.sql, we don't have a test case for this issue. I think we
should add it to the window.sql
