-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hang happens during prepare at compile time.
The cause for the hang is that the check for the multiple tuple list was in an
endless loop since it expected a LOB function operator directly i the tuple
list and didn't handle any other cases. Now that we allow plain char/varchar
types in the values clause and convert them in the binder phase internally,
this check had to be changed to be done after the assign bind phase.

> The LOB feature allows the user to specify a char string as the insert value.
> EsgynDB will automatically convert it into a LOB datatype, just as if the
> user has specified stringtolob() explicitly. The following execution output
> shows that both insert..values('1') and insert..values(stringtolob('2')) work
> fine.
> The design has prohibited the user from using stringtolob() to insert
> multiple rows at the same time. It's a 4483 error as shown by insert..values
> (stringtolob('3')),(stringtolob('4')). However, if the user doesn't specify
> stringtolob(), the multi-row insertion insert..values('5'),('6') doesn't
> return such an error. It simply hangs, presumably because it tries to invoke
> stringtolob() underneath and has run into the situation that the 4483 error
> is designed to prevent. It probably needs to return the same error to avoid
> such a hang problem.

> drop table if exists t cascade;

> insert into t values ('5'),('6');
> drop table t cascade;
