Well, I'm not sure. Magnus is saying that the newer MS servers default
to spec-compliant semantics --- ie, foo = NULL will yield NULL. But
IIRC the original complaints were because MS tools like Access would
*generate* this expression and expect it to behave like foo IS NULL.
Can MS have fixed all their apps already? Seems unlikely. Maybe we
have to leave the kluge in there awhile longer.
