This is an attempt on https://github.com/MaterializeInc/database-issues/issues/1291 as discussed here, at least for the
varchar_to_textcase.Draft for now, because I'd like to run a full CI first.
In the meantime, there is a relevant design doc PR from Michael: #27239, where this PR is the
eq-typealternative.Edit: A problem is that the adapter crate also calls MIR's typ in several places, to get
RelationDesc's. We'd need to do something about these before merging the PR. A possible solution would be to get the scalar types from the HIR expression instead. This would have sometimes better or worse nullability than MIR's typ, but it being more stable than MIR's typ would probably be an advantage anyway, regardless of this PR.Motivation
