From 51972a9d5d068dd34b24ff4923981ffb90e5cc2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2003 02:30:39 +0000
Subject: COALESCE() and NULLIF() are now first-class expressions, not macros
 that turn into CASE expressions.  They evaluate their arguments at most once.
  Patch by Kris Jurka, review and (very light) editorializing by me.
