Review Comment:
   This leaves us with a less capable DECODE() function, and the more capable 
DECODE_BINARY() function.
   
   Since we are only extending the functionality, we could use the exact same 
implementation, adding more features to DECODE() is not a problem.
   
   The only reason we are adding new functions at all is the "interesting" 
existing ENCODE() function.
