Review Comment:
   Another potential location for adding these coercion rules is in
   
   
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/main/datafusion/optimizer/src/analyzer/type_coercion.rs
   
   The benefit of putting them there is that it would work for plans created in 
ways other than the LogicalPlan builder. We could also potentially coerce types 
based on the target table's types rather than just the argument types 
themselves 🤔
