Review Comment:
   > Maybe here changing return_type to return_type_from_exprs would be a good 
idea. But a problem
   is here the schema has type S: ExprSchema while return_type_from_exprs can't 
accept a generic type parameter S because it's in a trait. 🤔 What do you think?
   
   Maybe you can use a trait object like `&dyn ExprSchema` 🤔
