This is fine -- no exception should be raised. The inner aggregate
needds to get evaluated twice, and will have different bounds those two
times.
IMHO, "others" should not have been allowed in record aggregates -- only
in array aggregates. It's just too weird, and it causes an unreasonable
amount of implementation difficulty.
