Review Comment:
   On your other question, when we enable `TYPE_EVOLUTION` mode that will 
create a mismatch between what is returned and what the describe view has. For 
the default `BINDING` mode this wouldn't be the case
   
   Let me know what you think. I'm thinking that since `TYPE_EVOLUTION` is not 
the default and is up to the user's discretion to set, it may not be an issue 
if the type reported from the schema mismatches. The user in this case would 
set TYPE_EVOLUTION likely understanding that it will create drift here. And 
that this mode was the primary motivation for this change
