Review Comment:
   > analyze the sql text {'k': 'v'}
   
   shouldn't it be sql text `parse_json('{'k': 'v'}')`? I am confusing...
   
   > create a string literal from {'k': 'v'} and wrap it with parse_json 
(effectively coercing it to the correct variant type). This feels inefficient, 
however, because we have variant->string->variant conversion rather than lazily 
evaluating it once
   
   Since the `analyze` will perform `ConstantFolding`, it would be great if we 
can unify the code path here. The overhead is trivial here.
