Are you suggesting that PRQL is capable of this? Or at least easier to do in PRQL?

Yes, much easier.

Check out "What’s this aggregate function?" at https://prql-lang.org/faq/. Without much context, we can understand the shape of a result.

And because queries can be longer without becoming unreadable, the lineage information is richer.
