Eh, I wasn't following too. Is the problem related to its parameters for
the function? we can just define `characterOrColumn` and use it. We can do
something like:
```
if # is character
schema <- lit(schema)
else if # is column
schema <- schema
else
stop("it should be column or characters")
```
like you did in Python side.
