Note that this can already be done by relying on server-side expressions:
SELECT :SERVER_VERSION_NUM >= 110000 AS "version_11_plus" \gset
\if :version_11_plus
...
\endif
Not very elegant, but functional. I'm not sure there is a compelling
reason to have this feature beyond elegance.
not elegant, not readable, and not user friendly.
Sure, I can only agree.
the possibility of simple expression evaluation is just practical.
Ok. Good.
I do not mind spending some time for elegance, but I mind spending time
for nothing.
I hope some committers will also express their views about the feature.
