> I agree, I was thinking the same thing. The context is a kernel that operates on arrays, the output of which may or may not be used in a filter. I guess the kernel could do the conversion but I figured if we can support it here Filter could do the conversion internally (if it makes sense, maybe it already is?) I think this conversion is typically done in coercion -- like in https://docs.rs/datafusion/latest/datafusion/logical_expr/type_coercion/binary/fn.comparison_coercion.html (which basically means DataFusion would apply a cast internally to cast `Dictionary(*, Boolean)` --> `Boolean` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
