> The type compatibility methods in the FunctionRegistry (getCommonClass,
> implicitConvertable) compare TypeInfo objects directly when its doing its
> type compatibility logic. This won't work as well with qualified types
> (varchar, char, decimal), because we will need different TypeInfo objects to
> represent varchar(5) and varchar(10), and the equality comparisons won't work
> anymore. We can change this logic to look at the PrimitiveCategory for the
> TypeInfo instead.
