AR currently hands aggregates off as complete items.
This is not a requirement, it could hand of partial aggregates to the
transfer function (which can then show the intermediate result).
This would give faster feedback However, it brings
in questions of consistency. Are such partial renderings "valid"?
Useful even if invalid?
This may form a basis for AR over streaming data, and might provide
a way for very fast "delete" (aggregate reducer that provides specifically
for removal of information).
