    Each drill function is converted to DrillFunctionHolder and though Calcite 
recognizes current_time/current_date & other context functions (ex: user, 
current_schema) as niladic, after introduction of isNilladic flag, 
DrillFunctionHolder would describe such functions as non-niladic, though they 
are. So we are intentionally hold incorrect info.
    
    Let's say in future I would need to take list of all function holders in 
Drill (form local function registry) and filter out all niladic functions, 
since we do have such isNiladic flag I would assume that I can use this flag as 
filter but since current_time/current_date & other context functions (ex: user, 
current_schema) have isniladic=false, they would never be filtered out.
    
    Also please add `isNiladic=true` to other niladic context functions [1].
