URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/15797

   ### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
   
   This is a follow on to the discussion in 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/15646 where the user would like to 
have metadata specified on literal values.
   
   ### Describe the solution you'd like
   
   I do not have a specific plan in mind, but I could imaging that the literal 
functions that take in a scalar value could take in some optional metadata and 
store it. Then when the `return_field_from_args` gets called, the metadata 
would be available. I think we also should solicit some additional use case 
from the originator of the idea. 
   
   ### Describe alternatives you've considered
   
   There is a work around where the user can write their own simple scalar UDF 
to handle this.
   
   ### Additional context
