And if we do change SQLDA_VERSION it's worth changing something else in

My aim is to increase CHAR/VARCHAR lengths. I think there is no real
benefit in improve the old API when the new one already exists and
support that.
The majority of our users probably still use the old API, either
directly or indirectly. Given the undocumented state of the new API, I
suspect it does not see a lot of usage, nor will it unless that changes.
Introducing features that only benefit users of the new API, which - to
be a bit hyperbolic - primarily seem to be the Firebird core developers
themselves, seems a bit off to me.
What is the point of this, and what is the benefit to our users?
