I mean, can I code up 2 functions called "fti" and put them both in the
fti.c and then have them both in the fti.so? Then when CREATE FUNCTION is
run it will link to the correct function in the fti.so depending on the
parameter list?
It's easy for you guys to say "break backward", but you aren't using it ;)
