No, please no. I can find some logic in changing the concatenation behavior as
described (as I think that the standard might offer some leeway there, although
I need to study on it first), but changing the math that is clearly described
in the standard to something else is plain wrong.

Well..... this :
SELECT 1 / 3 FROM RDB$DATABASE
SELECT 1.0 / 3 FROM RDB$DATABASE
should return 0.33333333333333333333333, agree ?
Exactly same, but then with numbers
DIALECT 5 ? :-p
