B4 GROUP+HAVING profile showed SqlIsAggName at ~9% of CPU —
SqlEvalFunc checks it for every function in every row, and the
PRG body was two string allocations + a substring scan:
RETURN ("," + c + ",") $ ("," + AGG_FUNCTIONS + ",")
Replace with a hash lookup against the existing aggFuncSet map
in hbrtl/sqlexpr.go (already populated for SqlExprHasAgg, same
AGG_FUNCTIONS list). Upper-casing skips the allocation when the
input is already upper, which it almost always is in practice.
Bench deltas (median of 3 steady runs, 1000 iters):
B4_GROUP_HAVING 447 → 418 us -6.5%
B14_COUNT 252 → 235 us -7%
B15_CTE_WIN_JOIN 1595 → 1577 us -1%
Other benches unchanged (no aggregate calls per row).
FiveSql2 43/43, Harbour compat 56/56.

::hInfixTT[ TK_MYOP ] := { "<=>", 40, 41, ND_BIN }
One line. No structural changes needed.
