No.  Even this case, for me, is more an expedient than a necessity. I
could just rewrite my Oracle code to use CASE, but I've a lot of code to
convert, and the transformation is a bit error prone.  I'm also looking
at a scripted code edit to rewrite the Oracle stuff, and comparing this
to the cost a PG compatibility function.
