Hi Petar, I have implemented similar functions a few times through ad-hoc UDFs in the past, so +1 from me.
Can you elaborate a bit more on how you practically implement those functions? Are they UDF or "native" functions like those in sql.functions package? I am asking because I wonder if/how Catalyst can take those functions into account for producing more optimized plans, maybe you or someone else in the list can clarify this.
