I hope it was taken as nothing more than an indication that adding an 
extra argument to array_columns would not be our preference for the 
route to go down :-)

I could see the benefits to a standalone array_column_group function, 
that way the expected dimensions of the output would be more easily 
recognisable without having to inspect the parameters.

As this RFC focuses heavily on array_columns, including all of the 
examples and the PR, I would encourage the author to consider an RFC 
specifically for array_column_group.
