Review Comment:
To address this TODO we could extend the pattern here
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/4bc322819f28695b6b9593d5bbaea775e7d798b6/datafusion/expr/src/aggregate_function.rs#L84-L88
ie now we have `return_type(input_types, nullability) -> return_type`
we could have `return_type(input_types, nullability) -> (return_type,
nullability)`
this is an API for builtin functions, we would need similar API for UDAFs
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/5f02c8a0658d9ed012ca4ca91f0417a967fe094a/datafusion/expr/src/udaf.rs#L330
Obviously, this would be a breaking change: both method signature and return
type would change.
We can avoid the breaking change by making nullability a separate method,
but it would be good to first determine the ideal end-state, and only then
think how to get there.
