I'll add in the test changes, no problem.

Cool idea. I had a couple of very minor nits like some of the column alignment in the tests was off. It does make it easier to eyeball tests when everything lines up just so. Also, c3 in the crosstab tests shouldn't be changed, but instead there should be a new test there.

Then I thought that we should also test having multiple columns instead of just two.

I've attached a patch which addresses those thoughts.

Let's wait for Erik to also weigh in before committing it. He has a good eye for detail, and might notice additional things that will make it better.


By the way, testing the range out on crosstab helped me notice another minor bug. If the output has wide columns (eg when using unique), crosstab's column alignment ends up all out of whack. I've added a note to myself to fix that sometime. It might be difficult, though.
