HyukjinKwon commented on issue #23882: [SPARK-26979][PYTHON] Add missing string 
column name support for some SQL functions
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23882#issuecomment-473756127
 
 
   Why was `ascii` in string function an exception?
   
   ```python
   >>> 
spark.range(1).select(lit('a').alias("value")).select(ascii(col("value"))).show()
   ```
   
   ```
   +------------+
   |ascii(value)|
   +------------+
   |          97|
   +------------+
   ```
   
   ```python
   >>> 
spark.range(1).select(lit('a').alias("value")).select(ascii("value")).show()
   ```
   ```
