> Cast kernels seem to always create and populate the null bitmap even if the
> input data structure had a {{nullptr}} null bitmap. This automatic and extra
> allocation is not desirable, and not consistent.
> It seems some cast kernels use COMPUTED_NO_PREALLOCATE and others use the
> default (INTERSECTION). We could change INTERSECTION to be a general case
> where if all inputs have no nulls, then a null bitmap should not be emitted.
