>
> Several array and map functions currently insert explicit CAST nodes by
> mutating operands (call.setOperand()) as a side effect during type checking
> or return type inference. As noted by Julian Hyde and Mihai Budiu in
> CALCITE-6300, this violates the "functional programming" principle —
> SqlOperandTypeChecker and return type inference should be side-effect-free,
> and other code may be surprised by such mutations.
> This pattern has spread to multiple functions: In return type inference (via
> - ARRAY_APPEND / ARRAY_PREPEND / ARRAY_INSERT
