23ai PL/SQL New Features - completely without JSON!

Session Abstract:
This mysterious character called Jason from block 23a-i is really on everyone's lips. While the combination of PL/SQL
and JSON undoubtedly makes sense and is covered in numerous blogs, videos and probably also conference contributions,
the question arises: Are there any other 23ai treasures in the world of PL/SQL that could fill a 45-minute presentation?
If the search for news in the current release is not enough, let's take for instance a look at 21c, which is only two blocks back.
There are numerous rare and often overlooked features slumbering in the depths of PL/SQL, waiting to be brought to light.
So it's a surprise how long we can get by without the notorious Jason from block 23a-i.
We will be guided by a simple premise: "PL/SQL is for everyone" - for developers and DBAs as well.
