Hi Matej.  I'm going through my old email and noticed the above.
Is this the same as the bug here?  I think so.

That's a good idea.  I've filed a "wishlist" bug for you:
        http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?30698

I've already implemented CSV and tab-delimited output.  It is
under review right now.

A request for COUNT is already in the bug tracker:
        http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?29869
I think that this bug also means to talk about the merge commands
you mention, although it actually references a nonexistent
"MERGE" command.

AGGREGATE is already available.

Unfortunately adding menu items is usually a bit of a pain, but
it's still good to know what our users would like.
