If the C++ interface (pure virtual) is expected to be used outside the Firebird project (by other C++ applications) or even by different Firebird versions (e.g. newer server loading the older engine), then we must care. You cannot extend the interface by an overloaded function and expect its binary compatibility with the prior interface version. If the only public API is a [machine-generated] language-neutral plain C stuff, then I don't care. This is not what we have at hands though.
