  // The GROUPBY clause divides a table into groups for which aggregated
  // results can be calculated like the mean or minimum. These results are
  // calculated in classes derived from this abstract base class.
  // <br>There is one such function object per aggregation per group. All
  // aggregation objects of a group are combined in a std::vector.
  // This vector is mapped to a TableExprGroupKeySet object to keep track
  // of all groups and aggregations.
  // <br> There are two types of aggregation function classes.
  // <ul>
  //  <li> Immediate classes implement the 'apply' function to immediately
  //       apply the operand's value in the aggregation.
  //       Such classes do not keep the operand's values.
  //  <li> Lazy classes do not need the 'apply' function. Instead they
  //       read all values of the group in the 'getXXX' function and do the
  //       aggregation. Such classes are meant for aggregation functions
  //       like 'median' that need to keep all values. When applying it
  //       immediately, all groups need to keep their values which might need
  //       too much memory. Lazy classes need the values of only one group
  //       at a time, but have the disadvantage that reading the values from
  //       the table might be done in a non-sequential order.
