   Some pointers:
   
   Look here for the existing `StringConcat` operator:
   
   
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/a02e6836e7d449008eef592b177ea282595e027a/datafusion/expr-common/src/operator.rs#L83-L84
   
   We should look at places it is used and either try to extend it to include 
binary (although it might be weird since the name is `StringConcat` unless we 
rename it) or potentially introduce a new operator `BinaryConcat`. We should 
also consider the UDF:
   
   
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/a02e6836e7d449008eef592b177ea282595e027a/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs
   
   One thing to keep in mind is how we handle `binary || string` concat (i.e. 
which common type we coerce to); we can't assume all binary is a valid string, 
but strings are always valid binary.
