As James said before its not clear to me why you need this new function,
can just use ExpressionUtil.isConstant() ?
Your implementation returns true by default and is false only for
AggregateFunction, RandomFunction and SequenceValueExpression for which
ExpressionUtil.isConstant() should also return false, right?
