Review comment:
       Snowflake doesn't specify that in their document, but BigQuery and 
Teradata support `to_binary('abc', null)`:
   
   [Expressions, functions, and operators | BigQuery | Google 
Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/functions-and-operators#format_string_as_bytes)
 "If an operand is NULL, the result is NULL, with the exception of the IS 
operator."
   
   [Teradata Online Documentation | Quick access to technical 
manuals](https://docs.teradata.com/r/kmuOwjp1zEYg98JsB8fu_A/etRo5aTAY9n5fUPjxSEynw)
 "If either instring or in_encoding is NULL, the result is NULL."
