Similarly, I'd love some form of

    GROUP BY every column except for <these>

It feels silly when you are SELECTing a ton of columns, then you add a JOIN to a many-to-one relationship which you want to aggregate. Now you need to either make it a subquery (and hope the optimizer doesn't screw up) or duplicate all your SELECT expression (not even the identifiers) into the GROUP BY.
