There are a few pallocs between them, so OOM is possible, even if
unlikely. I mainly mentioned this because even if unlikely it can
happen in theory, and the fix seems simple to me.

Yes, it's definitely not permanent, but could be bad with many tuples.

These approaches are interesting, but also add complexity, so I'm
unsure which is better for this, the pfree calls add one line and
solve the main issue with the current code.

Right, this code will be better.

Yeah, probably doesn't matter that much, but the code also wasn't that
nice in that form. I didn't try to actually modify it, but by just
looking at it the grouped option seemed cleaner to me, and the output
should also be self-explanatory and logical to users.
