> There are times when it is necessary to extract one of a few different fields
> from a Record, whichever is not null. We should add a coalesce function,
> similar to the analog in SQL, that will return the first non-null value in a
> sequence of arguments. For example, given the JSON:
> {code:java}
> {
> "id": "1234",
> "name": null
> }{code}
> The path `coalesce(/id, /name)` should return the `id` field. But given the
> JSON:
> {code:java}
> {
> "id": null,
> "name": "John Doe"
> }{code}
> The same path should return the `name` field.
