## Which issue does this PR close? - Closes https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/13763 ## Rationale for this change As described on https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/13763 In version s 43.0.0 and earlier of DataFusion, a `TypeSignature::Any(0)` means your udf could be called with zero arguments: ```sql SELECT my_udf(); ``` However in version 44.0.0 you get a very confusing error that says zero arguments are not supported but then gives you a candidate function is the one it just said was not supported: ```sql SELECT my_udf(); Error during planning: example_union does not support zero arguments. No function matches the given name and argument types 'my_udf()'. You might need to add explicit type casts. Candidate functions: example_union() ``` ## What changes are included in this PR?
