In my opinion, DSQL XSQLVAR's should be make as it is now forever. It was done bad, and change it would be bad too. So, it's just a fact of allow it with the new API. And then there must be a way to libraries uses bits of the new API mixed with old one. The increase of it is not difficult. I had it working for true 31-chars UTF-8 names AFAIR. It's unlike that the new limit would be greater than 63 UTF-8 characters, as 64 * 4 > 255 (blr limitation for names).
