I do wish SQL supported the addition of strings, like RPG does instead of

Whether it is a good idea to overload the + operator for use with
strings is one of the great philosophical debates in language design.

However, one thing that I think should be much less controversial is
expanding the CONCAT function so that it takes an arbitrary number of
arguments (as some other SQL dialects already do).
