   > I guess I should have added more examples in #10743. So I would argue that 
it would be better if the following expressions produced equivalent results:

   > 2. SELECT s::VARCHAR(2) FROM (VALUES ('12345')) t(s)

   Currently, I think it is tricky to do 2 and 3 since Datafusion would 
transform the ast::DataType into arrow::DataType in function 
sql_expr_to_logical_expr_internal, however, instead of directing knowing the 
string in 1, 2, and 3 would generate a different AST tree like

   if we want to do the validation on 2 and 3, we need to keep the information 
of ast::DataType::Varchar(Some(IntegerLength { length, .. })), but I don't know 
whether it is a need currently.
