Thanks Julian! I opened CALCITE-2266 to track implementing some of the new
JSON functions. I took a stab at implementing ISJSON in the following
commit:

https://github.com/michaelmior/calcite/commit/d6930fcd04ed83d37f56a7795ee794
1b521fb99c

These are touching parts of the code base I'm unfamiliar with so I mostly
don't know what I'm doing :) I added a new operator table which I'm
guessing we probably don't want to do but it made it easier for me when
testing to isolate the new code.
