Review Comment:
ScalarFunction / FunctionInvoker doesn't provide a dynamic return type
resolution at runtime --> e.g. determine what's being returned based on the
argument passed in. which is exactly what's needed here.
The SQL here in test are actually compiled into `CastTransformFunction`
which does support result metadata --> that's dynamically determined.
What's missing here is a "CAST" that's not a transform function, which
require changes to function invoker.
