Generics are lost after compilation anyway, so this doesn't really matter --
the check that you are returning the right type is a compile-time thing. We
get around that in elephant-bird by setting the type our generic loaders are
supposed to work with in UDFContext; sadly, regular UDFs don't actually have
access to UDFContext.
