This feature is very specific. The benefit is mostly for authors of
extensions that try to emulate some other RDBMS. For me - it can reduce
thousands of lines of Orafce source code.

But Tom has a strong negative option on this feature. But on second hand, I
am accepting so this feature is specific and an benefit is specific subset
of users. So there are no strong reasons for hard pushing from me. There
are other similar proposals, so we will see.
