I don't think it's a matter of giving the engine a try. I think we first need to make a decision what the best way to go is and then we can discuss implementation if/what is possible. Once 5.0.0 is out I'm going

Thanks for these words of wisdom, Andi. Dismissing a solution because the implementation seems hard at first is not what we should do here.

coalesce would be: "coalesce" "(" <var> ( "," <var> )* [ "," <expr> ] ")"

Actually I'd prefer "coalesce" "(" <expr> ( "," <expr> )* ")" with either the whole expression evaluation silenced or only in the case where <expr> is a <var>. I'll have a go at it as soon as I find time. Regards, - Chris
