Review Comment:
   In my understanding, the function docs are used at the function registration 
step. I am not quite sure if the query engine cares much about it. It would be 
the compute API which is the interested party. For example this is how it is 
used in [Python 
UDFs](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/207d328565b65b2c916ec17bc57f29b0c6fc8e8f/python/pyarrow/tests/test_udf.py#L44).
