Review Comment:
   For most cases this unwrap won't panic, but do we need to maintain the same 
behavior with 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/080c32400ddfa2d45b5bebb820184eac8fd5a03a/datafusion/common/src/scalar.rs#L342-L358
 ? If so the return type can either be `Result<Option<_>>` or `Option<_>`, I'm 
ok with both (hard to choose...).
