Can an aggregate function be added for statistical mode?

Most sql engines (except postgres) don't seem to have a statistical mode function and I think I understand why it was not implemented years ago because it would be more resource intensive than a simple count, min, max or average. However computing power has evolved drastically and so I am surprised that this hasn't been added as a core group by function.
My ideal MODE() function would return NULL if there is no mode and if there are multiple values, it would return them comma separated like GROUP_CONCAT().
