The majority of our users probably still use the old API, either

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?
This sounds similar to the Dialect 1 problem. If all the new features
are also available in the old API, what's the point for users to migrate
to the new one? (even if we'd have an API guide published).
