Then FETCH FIRST N WITH TIES becomes "stop when the expression

Wouldn't that be wicked expensive compared to something hard-coded
that does the same thing?
Not sure, but that was one of my concerns too, particularly for the
simple FETCH FIRST N WITH TIES case. But I think Andrew has a point it
would make it much easier to implement the PERCENT case.
