   Thanks @gstvg for driving this. I missed this PR and actually was advocating 
for lambda support in DataFusion roadmap. Let me explore this approach, in high 
level IMO it makes sense to introduce LambdaUDF trait so taking as example 
`SELECT list_filter([1,2,3,4], x -> x % 2 = 0);` it could look like 
   
   
   ```
   FunctionExpression
     name: list_filter
     children:
       1. ListExpression [1,2,3,4]
       2. LambdaExpression
            parameters: ["x"]
            body:
               ComparisonExpression (=)
                 left:
                    ArithmeticExpression (%)
                       left: ColumnRef("x")
                       right: Constant(2)
                 right:
                    Constant(0)
   ```  
   
   Then we likely need to Bind `x` to know what is it and finally rewrite it 
into something computable, perhaps using UDF of (Int) => Boolean and provide a 
bitmap as the result of valid indices and then extract valid indices from 
array. It might preserve SIMD execution. 
   
   It is great to see this effort is moving
