+   TODO Get this code to set can_compute_window_function during preparation,
+   not during execution.
+
+   The reason for this is the following:
+   Our single scan optimization for window functions without tmp table,
+   is valid, if and only if, we only need to perform one sorting operation,
+   via filesort. The cases where we need to perform one sorting operation only:
+
+   * A select with only one window function.
+   * A select with multiple window functions, but they must have their
+     partition and order by clauses compatible. This means that one ordering
+     is acceptable for both window functions.
+
+       For example:
+       partition by a, b, c; order by d, e    results in sorting by a b c d e.
+       partition by a; order by d             results in sorting by a d.
+
+       This kind of sorting is compatible. The less specific partition does
+       not care for the order of b and c columns so it is valid if we sort
+       by those in case of equality over a.
+
+       partition by a, b; order by d, e      results in sorting by a b d e
+       partition by a; order by e            results in sorting by a e
+
+      This sorting is incompatible due to the order by clause. The partition by
+      clause is compatible, (partition by a) is a prefix for (partition by a, b)
+      However, order by e is not a prefix for order by d, e, thus it is not
+      compatible.
+
+    The rule for having compatible sorting is thus:
+      Each partition order must contain the other window functions partitions
+      prefixes, or be a prefix itself. This must hold true for all partitions.
+      Analog for the order by clause.
