Yes, I know. But you could already provide the modified version of the
server to your customers and they could already have production databases
that use COALESCE as BLR#176. In this case you would get much pain trying to
change the BLR code again and convert all existing databases. Since AFAIK
gbak stores both text and BLR representation of the object, backup/restore
won't be a solution and you'll be in some kind of trouble.
