The `Sql DBEq a` constraint on the return type of the aggregator was wrong. It also isn't quite right to have a `EqTable i` constraint on the input type of the `Aggregator`, because technically what we want is a `Sql DBEq` constraint on whichever column(s) within `i` are used by aggregation functions, but we don't know which columns were used at this point. We could give `distinctAggregate` a type like `Sql DBEq i => Aggregator (Expr i) a` and make people run it through `lmap` manually, but that makes it impractical to use with `ListTable` without exposing more machinery. So we just drop the equality constraint for now.
