    So, yes, a couple of things need to be ensured for stellar functions:
    * The output of the call is serializable via kryo (the profiler stores the 
output of stellar statements in HBase)
    * It passes the `validate` call
    
    Validate is intended to check syntactic errors and it does so by passing a 
VariableResolver that returns null for every variable.  I will admit that I've 
been thinking this should be rethought and we should do this another way:
    * Have a special implementation of StellarBaseListener that barfs if 
function resolution happens, but doesn't actually apply functions
    * Uses the normal Stellar Lexer to ensure syntactic errors
    This should ensure that the stellar statement is valid syntactically IMO.
    
    Thoughts?
