[Qgis-developer] have aggregate/window expressions ever been discussed?

[G. Allegri]

Recently I had to calculate the relative dimension of a polygon relative to
the others of the same class. I know there are a lot of way to do it,
inside and outside QGIS, but I wondered if field calculator (and
expressions in general) couls be extended to accompish this kind of tasks.

The approach would be something similar WINDOW functions in Postgresql [1],
where for each record a new value will be calculated on the basis of other
records (filtered or not).

Has this ever been discussed? Is it something that could fit QGIS
expressions?
