Dear fellow hackers,

This polymorphic function produces an error if the input value is null,
otherwise it returns the input value unchanged.


This only checks for the null value.  I don't think we need to change the function's name, but we do need to be more precise in the documentation that it checks for the null value and not values that are null.


Perhaps replacing "Produces an error if the input is null, and returns the input otherwise." with "Produces an error if the input is the null value, and returns the input otherwise."


Then also add ROW(NULL, NULL)) to the regressions tests showing that we are aware that that is the behavior for things that are null but are not the null value.
