Problem:
========
"coalesce(0, 1.2345)" is expected to return 0.0000, with or without any aggregate functions.

How to repeat:

drop table if exists t1;
create table t1(c1 int);
insert into t1 values(1);
select coalesce(0, 1.2345);
select coalesce(0, 1.2345), sum(coalesce(0, 1.2345)), sum(1) from t1 as t2, t1 as t3 where t2.c1=t3.c1;

Suggested fix:
"coalesce(0, 1.2345)" is expected to return 0.0000, with or without any aggregate functions.
