   Switch the implementation to `ScalarUDFImpl` and the documentation says:
   
   ```
       /// # Zero Argument Functions
       /// If the function has zero parameters (e.g. `now()`) it will be passed 
a
       /// single element slice which is a a null array to indicate the batch's 
row
       /// count (so the function can know the resulting array size).
   ```
   
   See 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/51b898288830c224b825523f9be1d54974f15d2f/datafusion/expr/src/udf.rs#L257
   
   When I dbg! the args passed to the a zero parameter UDF I am implementing, I 
get
   
   ```
   &args = [
       Scalar(
           NULL,
       ),
   ]
   ```
   
   Which suggests to me, that a Scalar value is being passed, and not an Array 
as suggested in the documentation, and hence the length cannot be deduced from 
this.
