   Thanks @xudong963. The core docs are very good, but don't seem to include 
any examples of using the scalar functions  `lower, upper, starts_with, etc` . 
I've been trying permutations with no luck.
   
   eg My assumption (based on the equality operators) was that something like 
this should work:
   ```
     .filter(col("some_col").starts_with(lit("alpha")))
   ```
   
   In the above, `starts_with` isn't found in the scope.
   
   I can do this to get it compiling:
   ```
   .filter(starts_with(lit("alpha")))
   ```
   But this (obviously) fails at runtime. Message is:
   ```
   Error: Plan("Coercion from [Utf8] to the signature OneOf([Exact([Utf8, 
Utf8]), Exact([Utf8, LargeUtf8]), Exact([LargeUtf8, Utf8]), Exact([LargeUtf8, 
LargeUtf8])]) failed.")
   ```
          
   I know I am missing something a bit obvious :)
