### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? There are `display_name`, `create_name`, `write_name`, `impl fmt::Display for Expr`, `create_function_physical_name`, `create_physical_name`, `physical_name`.. I hope we can have much more simplified and easy to use name function. If we can standardize logical namd and physical name is a big plus. IIRC, the only expression that has gap between logical and physical name is Cast, and we probably do not need to. This could also help https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10274 a lot ### Describe the solution you'd like ideally we could keep `impl fmt::Display for Expr` and use `format!()` to get the String 🤔 And, minimize the gap between logical name and physical name. ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/11724#discussion_r1698786265 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
