Orafce concat operator

Hello list,

The Orafce compatibility package doesn't seem to have operators defined
(looked in the sql load file). The function I'm specifically interested
in, is Oracle's concatenation that regards a NULL as the empty string
and hence returns 'the other value'. This in contrast with Pg's || that
returns NULL if either of the operands is NULL. The Orafce package
contains a concat function with Oracle behaviour, however an operator is
missing.

Having an associative operator has benefits over having only a function,
since that would make translating expressions like 'monkey' || 'nut' ||
NULL easy.

What about adding something like operator ||| in the orafce package for
concat?
