Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd
from functools import partial

quant50 = partial(np.percentile, q=50)
quant70 = partial(np.percentile, q=70)

test = pd.DataFrame({'col1': ['a', 'a', 'b', 'b', 'b'], 'col2': [1,2,3,4,5]})

test.groupby('col1').agg(
    quantile_50=('col2', quant50),
    quantile_70=('col2', quant70)
)

Problem description

I'm trying to calculate multiple percentiles, I get the following error: "Function names must be unique, found multiple named percentile"

It's an old problem #7186 but I assumed that it should've been solved with the named aggregations. Now there is no need to deduce the column name from the function name, the column name was specified explicitly.

Expected Output

column | quantile_50 | quantile_70
a | 1.5 | 2
b | 4.0 | 3

Output of pd.show_versions()
