Re: RFC [Discussion] array_column results grouping

Hello Folks, Thanks a lot for your feedback, as already mentioned in the RFC and as mentioned by Rowan too a new function is an option. I think that mostly we will go with the new function option. I will try to edit the PR to add a new function, does there any suggestions/naming conventions for the new function? a colleague suggested being array_group_by and Hendra already suggested to be array_column_group which is good too.
