    Turns out I made a typo which caused me to miss a permutation of handling 
null in the parameters...
    
    Comparing both solutions (tuple with `OUT` as `java.lang.Double` vs 
non-tuple with both `BUF` and `OUT` as `java.lang.Double`), it seems we have 
the following trade-offs:
    - tuple will require more data to be shuffled around as we are adding an 
additional value
    - non-tuple solution requires the developer to know a bit about the 
internals, i.e.: 
    `val tuple = (x: (Double, Double)) => x._2
    emptyDataSet.agg(typed.min(tuple)).show()`
    `val nontuple = (x: (Double, java.lang.Double)) => x._2
    emptyDataSet.agg(typed.min(nontuple)).show()`
    
    This is because function `f` passed in into typed.min outputs a `BUF`, 
forcing the caller to know about it the internals.
    Given that users can always implement their own (non-tuple version) if 
needed, I'd argue in favor of the tupled solution beacuse  it is a bit more 
developer friendly. What do you think?
