One output column of a Group or a window: a function of a column, under a name. The function is kept as saved, so an unknown or empty one is held and reported, never dropped (PLAN §11.5, Q4). column is undefined for a function that takes none (Count rows, the rank functions) and '' until picked; name is '' until given. offset (Lag, Lead) and buckets (NTile) are their functions' settings (PLAN §11.9), kept as given for validation to judge, and undefined on every other function.
