I am asking for CONNECTION being a variable of data type 'connection *' rather than 'const char *'. That would avoid name lookups.
Is that out of spec?Yes, but the preprocessor could still add an optimization ala 'connection *' for the hardcoded cases (exec sql set connection 'myconn1'; exec sql at 'myconn1' ...). It needs to maintain the string list for the non hardcoded cases though.
How about, allowing 'connection *'? If somebody puts a 'connection *' there it is used. If it is a string a name search is performed. Best of both worlds.
Can that be an acceptable compromise?
